[quote=Anonymous]My son has a fall birthday. He missed the cutoff for entering k by 5 days. We considered pushing him ahead a year early, but decided for social immaturity reasons to keep him with his assigned grade. He is one of the oldest for his grade, but there are always a couple kids that were redshirted that are older than him. My anecdotal? He was Absolutely bored in school. I ended up placing him in a charter school that groups children by ability, not by age. He is grouped with older children and is thriving. Most of the children he is in class with are a full year older. In hindsight, I should have enrolled him in private K early. Bottom line… each child is unique. You could be helping by redshirting, or hurting. [/quote]
