the issue is not with school cut off dates. parents that chose one or the other 10 years ago are the the problem. It is the parents and the boys that are reclassing in 8th or 9th grade that are the issue.
PG, I don't have any issue with that either, there is no stigma for a boy that need to go to a prep school for a year to get his grades up to get into harvard...
It is the parents that game the system to get their child to compete against younger boys specifically for the purpose of getting a lax spto that is the problem.
starting kindergarden late and taking a pg year are very different issues ussually made in conjunction with much thought and advice of school officials. But to have little johny repeat 8th or 9th grade for a shot at early recruiting is just sleazy and you know it.
