I registered my son for Kindergarten today. At the next table, a woman was trying to register her daughter for Kinder with a June 2007 birthday. She was told that she would have to go into 1st grade. She was quite shocked (as was I).
I'm in CA. I mentioned this back at work and my friend said her school district (a neighboring one) held a parent information meeting and said the same thing.
Anyone heard of this as a trend?
Here's an article on that school district:school may overrule parents' wishes on when kids start first grade
