[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless he has a special need/circumstance, I don't think holding a child back is generally in their best long-term interest. --a teacher of upper elementary school students[/quote] I’m not OP but my DS has an August 29 bday. Older child’s private school has already said they don’t think I should send. Would you recommend I do? He’s a totally normal kid. [/quote] I'm the PP teacher. Will your child still be in private school? If so, what is the birthday cut off for that school? If the cut off were September 1, I think holding back a August 29 birthday could be a reasonable choice, since it wouldn't make the child dramatically older than his classmates. The places where I think it is problematic is when students are substantially older than their classmates.[/quote]
