It does a number on your social life (more in teenage years). I played hockey growing up and every second year I had to be on a team with everyone from the grade below (big deal when it's different schools, middle vs high) and not any of my friends because of the age cutoff. Something to consider if also putting them in sports.
Education wise I was fine, but the social/sport aspect shouldn't be forgotten.
Edit - Also your kid will be drinking even earlier in life as your friends will turn 18 a full year before, same with driving, etc. You spend a lot of time feeling behind in life and a fake ID is a necessity.

Exact same scenario here, being an early January baby and not being held back. I agree with your overall assessment except at the end where you go a little crazy into alcohol culture. Are you planning for your kid to be going through AA in their early 20s?
