[quote=Anonymous]It's not that big of a deal for your son to be older if he is successful when otherwise wouldn't be. My son was extremely delayed and I held him back a year before starting kindergarten. It's fine. And, I just read about an 18 year old high school freshman in today's newspaper. Considering the high dropout rate in DCPS, you want to make school a successful experience for your son. I have no opinion about whether you should hold him back, but if you do, I would think that at the time he changes schools would be easiest on him. It's got to be tough on kids to watch their friends get promoted when they don't. One other thing. If you go the tutoring route, it's not cheap. I spent over $15k for a year of intense tutoring for my oldest. It worked so I don't regret it. But it was a sacrifice of both time and money.[/quote]
