Yep, depends on when the cut off Bday is for K.

It all depends on what part of the year your birthday falls on. I was in first grade when I was seven. Didn't hurt me one bit. I am more suspicious of folks sending their kids off too young for the "free" day care.

That’s old. I turned seven when I went into the third grade.

>>>seven year old first grader?<<<

Not unusual at all. Pretty much any child with a birthday before the last day of school is going to be 7 for at least part of 1st grade. This boy probably just celebrated a birthday.

Probably when his B'day fell. Mine was in October, so I couldn't start school until I was 6, in September, but turned 7 immediately

Yes.

Where I live you have to be 5 to start Kindergarten.

So in K you are 5 and then you turn 6.

In first grade you are 6 and turn 7.

Second grade 7 and turn 8, etc...

Why did he not exit with the rest of the kids? While the driver definitely has some explaining to do - like why he didn’t do a “walk-through”... still... a 7-year old knows to get off the bus (unless it was his first day), and even then... hello... Was he asleep under a seat and then just suddenly wake up and go “hey! where is everybody”?

I was a seven year old first grader after my Jan. birthday. The Florida cut-off was you must be six years old by Dec 31 of that school year. If his birthday was from Jan 1 to Jan 24 he would be seven.

Who can't figure out how to work a door or window.

Ain't government school grand?

probably "red shirting" for future sports endeavors

quite common here in Indiana

being a year older can make a big difference

I think it's dumb, but it's not costing the taxpayers any extra
