[quote=Anonymous]In a typical year K numbers are usually under 22 in person. This year there are probably larger classes due to the reshuffling that happened with virtual and hybrid separate classes. I'm an upper elementary teacher. I personally would hold my kid for one year. Not for the class size reason but because I think kids who are younger are at a distinct disadvantage later in their school years compared to older kids. Everyone says it's fine when they send them to kinder or in 1st or 2nd. Great. The issues don't arise until your kid is 13, 14, 15+. There are issues being the youngest at that time and you can't do anything about it then. It's harder to be younger with puberty timing, sports, social maturity, etc. Especially for boys (but not limited to boys). Let your kid go to preschool and send them to K in 2022 if you don't need to send him for childcare reasons. [/quote]
