[quote=Anonymous]The age difference in K-2nd grade can show up in academics, particularly reading levels, but those differences can be made up. The big impact is in middle school where physical size, emotionaly maturity, and puberty, all play huge roles in kids' academic and emotional well-being. The teachers and administrators to talk to about the impact of red-shirting are the ones at the middle-school level and not the ones at the elementary school level. If your kid is not doing well at the end of the kindergarten because they are young for their grade -- repeat it. NBD. If your kid is not doing okay, academically and emotionally, at the end of sixth and seventh grade, then you and your kid are in real trouble, and that trouble will continue for many, many years.
