If he misses the cutoff date, then he misses the cutoff date. The cutoff date is there for a reason. [ Reply | More

i'm assuming you mean public school here? i think it depends on your child. my friend's DD missed 9/1 cut off by 2 weeks, but dd was very mature and bright so she sought a waiver and felt it was the right thing. in her community there's not a lot of holding back and it's a very small school (K is less than 15 dcs). If your dc seesm young or if most hold back even when they make the cut off, then dc maybe a LOT younger (12-15 months) than some of his classmates. [ Reply | More
