- Ignoring the smileys for a moment, anyone who actually has the option
- of choosing which day their child will be born should consider school
- requirements as a high priority. In my school district the turn of
- the year was the cutoff for determining which kids were classmates.
-
- The ones born in January were the oldest in their class, and had clear
- advantages in physical, mental, and emotional development. Those born
- in December were the youngest, with corresponding disadvantages. Some
- avoided the problem by being held back a year at the start, but then
- they were always the "wrong" grade for their age.
