[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless he has a special need/circumstance, I don't think holding a child back is generally in their best long-term interest. --a teacher of upper elementary school students[/quote] I’m not OP but my DS has an August 29 bday. Older child’s private school has already said they don’t think I should send. Would you recommend I do? He’s a totally normal kid. [/quote] My son has a similar birthday to yours, his birthday is sometimes after school even starts. We thought about him repeating PK4 but sent him to K (on teacher's recommendation) and thank goodness we did. We're a few years down the line now and he would've been completely bored academically if we kept him back. Socially he's fine. Yes, he's on the short side but that's not a big deal. So personally, if he's a normal kid, then there's no specific reason to keep him from K.[/quote]
