What to do about september birthday (if anything)

The states don't make the decision as to half or full day though,
it goes by district. I don't think any states mandate a full day.
so they leave it to the local to decide what is best for them.


According to this site, a few do mandate full-day kindergarten.

Bookmarked that one. I didn't have it.

I wonder though if the states where full day is mandated still allow
some children to attend half days if the parents requests that.

I feel a bit of an imposter here, with kids who are actually adults.
But it's sometimes nice to visit and find folks I know who are still
here.

No don't feel that way. I have older children 12, 9 and 8 and I need
perspective/advice of parents with older children. I value any information
you
can give us. )

Wow, thanks everyone...

Of course lesson #1 from the adult kids scene is that it isn't
necessarily over when it's over.

Many college age adults are still kids in some ways.

I don't know, but I have a first cousin who started homeschooling
because her district (in Georgia) wouldn't let her do that. She thought
a full-day kindergarten was too much, and decided to homeschool her
first child; they enjoyed it so much she homeschooled all three. This
was more than 20 years ago.
