>I guess I ask because there will always have to be a cutoff, even if it's a soft cutoff.

We could ditch the "academic year" idea entirely and just have kids join the classes when they are ready for them and not force a cohort to all have to learn and progress at exactly the same rate (one which, statistically, is either too slow or too fast for essentially every student).

I don't understand how that would work and solves the "I am almost a year older or younger than others".

You can teach a classroom with children from several years in it. Children then do the work that is at their level, whatever level that happens to be.

I don't think it's as easy as that. Planning and managing different lessons for the same time slot is way harder than planning and managing one lesson for the same time slot. The more kids in the room, the harder it gets.
