How old should a kid be before you tell the truth about Santa?

I think there should be a line to draw somewhere as I hear of kids getting to 7th grade still believing. At that point is a parent selfish in preserving the "innocence"?

Depends on the child and if even we are not told the truth of other worldly matters by the rulers, I see no reason why an innocent joke with no ulterior motives should be done away with.
