[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So before everyone destroys me, there are some SN’s in play here.  DC is 4 and will start K in 2020.  DH really wants to hold him back.  He says it won’t make  a difference this year and it’s our choice, whereas if all his classmates move forward and he repeats k, it will be harder on him.  We’d probably take him out if his current pre-K and find a junior k somewhere for him.  Then we could assess whether he should go to k or first. He has a small stature so he would not “look” out of place, but with a January birthday, he’ll turn older than his classmates a full 9 months ahead of the September kids. We are military and DH says DC can always just say that he’s a year older bc we moved and he started school later or something.   FWIW, I think holding him back would benefit him more than sending him to k next year and arguing with the county to support him in a K environment that he’s not going to be ready for.

Yeah, it's always a good thing to teach your child to lie.[/quote]
