[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an early September baby and the cutoff is Sept. 30. He's not even near kindergarten, but I'm redshirting 100%. I can afford childcare and [b]there's no reason for my child to be the smallest in their class[/b]. Plus, an extra year of childhood. If you want to start your 4-year-old in kindergarten I don't care, but many of us make a different choice.[/quote] I totally support your decision in general, but I'm not sure I really understand the comments that talk about size of the child, considering the fact that my own 5 year old is smaller than many 4 year olds. Kindergarteners come in a range of sizes and it's not always easy to guess who is the oldest and youngest on the class based upon that alone-- and then they grow at different rates throughout school...[/quote]
