[quote=Anonymous]Personally- in your situation I might push him ahead. My son was on par with your son when entering PK4. He has a birthday about 6 weeks past our cut off. Honestly he has stalled academically. I try to work with him at home but he is resistant to my teachings. He still loves school, has become a leader in the class, has developed many social/emotional skills. But I think he would have essentially developed all those skills in kindergarten. Your son will be fine no matter the decision. There is no right answer and you just have to follow your gut. Full disclosure- I don't believe in red shirting and am pretty firm on just following the time line the school district sets (exceptions for specific legitimate reasons). But there is a swing space that the district allows testing for because of this reason. Your son is ready for K. Again- it will be fine no matter what you do. So no need to second guess. Make the choice and be happy with it. [/quote]
