Glad you pushed past your reluctance to write about this. Sounds like you bring a lot of passion and knowledge to the topic.

My sister was advocating starting children born after October to be enrolled in the next year's class so they can socially mature. I was pushed out the door when I was 4 and had to play catch up every year until 10th grade. Noticed the difference in the kids started later, more confident, able to concentrate in class and didn't get bullied by classmates or teachers. Also, having gone through a trade school gave me a better direction in life than I had in the college prep courses in high school. To top that off, almost half of my fellow students in the trade school went off to college. Could be a function of having good male mentors along with better direction in the studies.
