[quote=Anonymous]“Redshirting” a kid in the oldest third of the class is not a thing. You’re holding him back. People will eventually assume he got held back. He may or may not get teases about it — depends what he’s like and what the other kids are like. I personally wouldn’t do it; developmental delays are typically better dealt with by more exposure to school/kids/services even if the first year is rough. If it doesn’t work out, you hold him back... but don’t pretend that’s not what you’re doing anyway if you don’t send him; at least give it a chance to work. Don’t make the decision because you’d be embarrassed to hold him back, because — again — that’s what everyone will perceive you to be doing anyway.[/quote]
