[quote=Anonymous]Preschool teachers recommended it based on ... I'm honestly not sure, but I was impressionable. He is now 18 and going to college in the fall. He absolutely did not need the gift of time AND I'm glad he got it anyway. If the pandemic has shown me nothing else, it's that you never know what's coming and childhood is fleeting. He had an extra year to run around and be a little boy. I didn't use it to game the system. He's not much of an athlete anyway. But fwiw, his classmates in general are clustered close to him in age, in part because so many people do redshirt. I didn't redshirt my youngest son (big age difference) because he wasn't close enough to the cut-off, but he does struggle, and I wish I had held him, particularly now with distance learning.[/quote]
