So you're saying that a child that has a birthday of Aug 31st vs Sept 2nd is a level playing field. I think not. My son will turn 5 in late July, five weeks before the cut off time. But, a child that is five Sept 1st, but turns six on Sept 2nd is fair against my child. No, I don't think so. The child with the Sept 2nd birthday is almost a year older than my child yet they would be in the same class. What about the fairness to the other kids that are so much younger that those children with late fall birthdays, Sept, Oct etc..? It's not about making it easier on my child, it about stacking the cards in as much as his favor to succeed.
