[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the school - at our school, it's extremely common to redshirt even May and June boys.  So we felt like we had to for our August boy.  We did two years of Pre-K at his private school.  Overall, we are happy with the decision.[/quote]

Of course, the private school wants your money. And you admit you only did it because of others. You did not base it off of your child’s abilities. [/quote]

lol why do people get so mad about this topic?  My son is shy and "young" for his age, and we were already on the fence about holding him for a year based on his social skills.  The decision became very easy when we saw how common it is at the school, since we didn't want him to be the youngest in a class full of even older kids who had already been redshirted.  I'm sure the school wanting an extra year of tuition was part of their advice to hold him, but we didn't really care about that because we had already come to the conclusion that it was the right decision for our son in the particular circumstances.
