I don't know how interested you are in this, but there was an article in yesterday's Tennessean about how many parents are holding kids back a year when starting kindergarden--particularly those with summer birthdays.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295323991884205488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125032391338849341.post-80884487673659441692007-08-11T21:57:00.000-05:002007-08-11T21:57:00.000-05:00I don't think a year in school would make that muc...I don't think a year in school would make that much difference with your concerns. Erik was two years ahead of me and I was referred to as "Erik's sister" a lot. But then given our distinct last name, it was hard to miss. I wasn't too scarred by that.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295323991884205488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125032391338849341.post-87893445269386359012007-08-11T13:46:00.000-05:002007-08-11T13:46:00.000-05:00First of all, thank you so much for the gift for S...First of all, thank you so much for the gift for SCott. It is so cute! Did you knock on the door and I just didn't hear you? I hate that I missed you. <BR/>Second, even after reading this post, I refuse to make my brain work enough to figure out how far apart my kids will be in school (they are 21 months apart - Camden born in October, and Scott obviously in August). My sister and I were 2 years apart in school and my husband and his brother were 1 year apart. I think we both had good experiences. <BR/>Third, I may be interested in the book club. Can you give me more info??<BR/>Thanks again!!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974695546683732938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125032391338849341.post-8760336341726981212007-08-10T11:37:00.000-05:002007-08-10T11:37:00.000-05:00My brother was 3 years ahead of me in school. We a...My brother was 3 years ahead of me in school. We are almost 3 years apart in age and are very close. When I was a freshman in high school and college, he was a senior at both schools. It was really nice to have an older sibling there to show me the way around, which teachers to take, etc. We have a small group of mutual friends from school. However, I was never allowed to date any of my brother's friends. (His rule.) My parents made him take me to school. I adored it while he loathed it. I do think that it helped make us closer since we were able to experience a lot of things together.<BR/><BR/>My birthday is the day before Will's birthday. So I loved always being one of the oldest in my class. It is true that I was the first of my friends in my grade to get a driving permit. I was also one of the few sophomores driving myself to school practically the whole school year. I got to turn 18 first my senior year of high school.<BR/><BR/>My little sister's birthday is Sept. 11 and my mom had a hard time trying to decide whether or not to hold her back. (Wilson county's cut-off used to be Sept. 30th as well. I'm not sure if it's changed since my sister started over 14 years ago.) My mom eventually decided to hold her back. (She's very short and was so much smaller than her classmates.) It worked out well for her.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that it would be a negative thing to have them only one grade level apart. However, I also don't think it would hurt to hold Sophie back a year either.<BR/><BR/>PS. I can't believe that you asked Tanya. I couldn't help but laugh at that mental picture. That is so funny. I can just imagine her going on and on.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072692195238712148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125032391338849341.post-39635017116117997042007-08-10T08:35:00.000-05:002007-08-10T08:35:00.000-05:00And while you're calculating, here's a thought: If...And while you're calculating, here's a thought: If the age to get a driver's license in TN is 16, Will will be eligible to drive shortly after he enters 10th grade!
