Which month were you born?

[Hades]

Here's a somewhat alarming study showing the months in which European footy players were born, from the Freakonomics website. In my opinion it really promotes the case for home schooling.

 

Relevant quote:

 

43 percent of players were born in the first thee months of the year, while only 9 percent were born in the final three months. Children who are a few months older than their peers at 5 or 6 have more developed cognitive and motor skills, which makes them more advanced athletes and students. This early advantage can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies later on: the child thinks she is an underachiever, and so will often play that role.

Privacy. Might encourage more lurkers to vote.

 

But do we really want them voting? If they start voting they might get bold and start expressing opinions... then what? They'll be taking over next.

 

Keep the lurkers where they are I say.

 

Just had a horrible thought, I'll bet a lurker's already voted.

 

AND WE DID'NT EVEN KNOW!!!!!!!!

That makes no sense what so ever.

The school year starts in september,so those born in Sep/Oct/Nov are the oldest in the their school class.

You're right it depends on the school year and not everywhere begins their intake in September either
