[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent our August boy on time because we thought it was where he should be.  His preschool teacher recommended holding him back.

I wouldn't worry so much about fit -- in our school, there were lots of kids held back and several kids sent on time, so the age range of K was 4-6 at the beginning of the year and 5-7 at the end of the school year.  For the rest of your questions, it's for you to evaluate.  You know your child best.  [/quote]

It's not a race. We all know some who didn't start or finish college "on time."[/quote]

Disclaimer: I'm reposting my last response to this, as it was full of a lot of mistakes and hard to read:

I kind of wish you hadn't posted this. If one of my kids sees this, they might get the idea that it's okay to be in college past the age of 22. And this is precisely why I didn't redshirt either of my kids. There are repercussions such as having them on your payroll an extra year. The ultimate goal is to get your kids to be self-supporting. Getting a late start in life is something to be avoided at all costs.[/quote]
