[quote=Anonymous]Public schools don’t encourage “on-time” starting because the “on-time” is dictated by sociological factors (younger starting=less daycare=more fair to financially disadvantaged families.) Private schools tend to insist on starting no sooner than 5, and encourage redshirting of late summer girls and spring/summer boys. When you are only focused on educational considerations vs sociological ones you make different choices. To be clear I think as long as parents have the option to redshirt in public school it makes sense to allow “on time” to mean younger— that lets those kids with real needs whose parents don’t have the resources to get them start to receive services.[/quote]
