He was born in the second month of 97 ...which makes him a TRUE 7th grader...My son who turned 13 in Oct. was born past the OCT 1 date and wasn't allowed to start kindergarten until just before his 6th birthday ...Don't know where your son attends school, a twelve year old is the NORMAL AGE for a 7th grader here...I was 12 when I started 7th as was 95 percent of the people I graduated with. I turned 13 just before school dismissed for the summer as will Camron and most of his classmates...No drama, just fact...

No drama here just curious... I can name at least 8 to 10 more young men in his (my sons)class that are only 15..... I completely understand about the starting kindergarten age the age of 6 due to the October birthdate requirement though... I do work in the school system and actually worked in the 6th grade and were familiar with their ages... (which some are 10 and some are 11).... I guess basically unless the children are held back, it depends on when they are allowed to start school due to their birthdate!!
