More intelligent or more advantaged?
Being up to a year older than others in the class can give you a head start, especially in the early years.
So it probably does have some bearing on his question - similarly qualified people having close birthdays.

I think that's what it comes down to.
Becaus ethe school year starts in September, half the class can be up to a year more mentally developped than the other half. Then again, if the school year was from January, you would get the same problem with a different half of the class.
The only suggestion may be to have two separate classes in each year.

That's why middle class people only have sex in late December/early January
