Parents requests child to get more food.

just curious, if he is 5 years old, why is he not in school?

Province requriements likely.

Here the kids go the year they are 5 so come September 2015 all the children born from Jan to then will be 5 and all the kids born after September will be 4 for a few weeks.

It used to be the kids had to be 5 by 1st October so my son, whose birthday is 21st October, turned 6 just 7 weeks after starting primary. Really annoying because he;d been in mainstream school in England for a year. We came in the July, and I figured he'd be starting back in Grade Primary come the September when he was 4 almost 5 but they turned us away for a full year because his birthday was 20 days too late for inclusion.
