[quote=Anonymous]My DS is a mid-June birthday.  He is a happy boy, loves school, took the WISPI III for private school PreK and was in the 82% high average category....I don't think he will have any issues with academics or with social life.   He is quite small for his age...in 20% tile for height...but other than that, just a normal happy 3 year old who will turn 4 in June.

He was accepted into a pre-k program that we will most likely send him to but my worry is if so many kids are being redshirted and turning 7 in kindergarden (as the other thread states) I am worried about my boy.  Crazy thing is I would never think of red shirting and have no plans to do it but this forum is making me think my DS is going to be (in the correct grade) but 1.5-2 years younger than his peers and a lot shorter than the other boys in his class that were all red shirted!  The whole idea is crazy unless there is a real social or academic reason....help me feel okay about letting my DS progress the way the system is set up for cut off dates.[/quote]
