60 Minutes is calling starting kindergarten a year later "kindergarten redshirting."
Most of the kids in Matilda's class are in this group. Well, about half, I'd guess.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

That's what it's called - I think the origin is from sports rather than Star Trek.

Anyone here fill prescriptions at Rite Aid?
Wow, your use of other prescriptions services is way beyond whatever I've used. I'm mostly like "look at bottle, realize I only have a couple left, call for an automated refill". Or occasionally "realize I have none left, stop at pharmacy and say I'll wait". Though Walgreen's was pretty good the other week when I accidentally threw out the bottle and THEN realized I needed a refill-just left a VM and they filled it.

NYC public schools are incredibly strict about redshirting. If you try to enroll your kid a year late for kindergarten they will be placed in first grade.

I assumed it was from sports, but I'd missed its application to kindergarten.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I assume they look seriously at birthdates and cutoff dates and allow leeway for close to the mark kids?

Oh, so cool! When I go to Spain next week, my niece has arranged a day trip to the oldest working lighthouse in the World.
Do I have an awesome niece, or what?

Very common with boys, and in areas where sports requiring bigness are important (like the SEC.)
Both my kids are on the young end for their grades - in GA Casper's birthday was 3 days before the cutoff - so I have a lot of worry about age inflation in elementary school.

Fricking IRS. Last November, they tried to hit KCD with a $200k tax bill saying he owed for the full value of our house sale. Ummm, no. There was another minor issue they had, which was a true issue. So, being the nice person I am, I helped KCD craft a response telling them to stick it on the big issue and here is the money.
Last week he got a response from them that was basically, ok you are right on the big issue and you owe $$$ on the little issue. Except they pulled some wrong numbers from his original 1040, making the amount due 5x's more than it should be. Once again, I have crafted a response and have copies of his return showing the correct numbers. This one was plain incompetence on the side of the person who prepared it.
