Redshirting a March birthday boy

OP definitely check this out. I think it may be a good idea to redshirt. This is in contrast to what I thought previously.

Other studies and meta-analyses are much more equivocal about the benefits. Social science research is notorious for not accounting for endogenous factors that could explain (much of) the cited effects. Proceed with caution.

Why didn’t you apply to prek last year? At our school sibling preference is strongest for the first year (pk). It’s not guaranteed in K.

How is the school getting more money from her? An extra year? I don't believe they look at it that way - either way they'd fill the class, so their total intake is the same either way. They don't have incentive to hold kids back just because. I bet OP's kid is further behind maturity wise than she thinks. Otherwise they'd put the kid in K and keep moving.

You are so naive.

Of course they do. How do you not get that?

Because it's very easy to fill the Pre-K and Kinder classes. They don't need this particular kid to fill either class. You don't now how any of this works.

Except there is an incentive and it does happen.

I'm good. I can see that you're new to this world. The wait lists are a mile long at the good schools. You must not be at a good school. If OP didn't already have a kid at this school her kid would have been rejected

For a desperate school, sure. If that describes your school you should probably apply out.

OMG, PP must be the director of a school.
No one believes that schools don’t do this because that would be foolish.

Foolish is OP didn't register her kid for PK a this school in the beginning. Why is she now applying to kinder? PK is usually very hard to get into bc it's a smaller class size and it feeds directly into the K, so you're already "in". So many of you have no clue how any of this works. Where is OP now and why is this the first time she's applying to this school? If the PK is this hard up to find kids that tells you something.

I feel sorry for you that you're paying private tuition on a "good school" that has to trick people into paying an extra year in tuition.
