[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely do it. And I guarantee the other August boys in his grade will have done it, too [/quote]

Nope, not this parent and have another in class with an August birthday who happens to be one of the brighter students. My brother was the absolute oldest and did not graduate on time. Do not redshirt your child if he is not developmentally disabled. [/quote]

My brother was the youngest and struggled and needed more time to mature. I redshirted my July birthday son, no regrets! Do it. I don't know anyone who regrets it and you can always skip a grade if you need to. Realizing you made a mistake by putting him forward if it turns out he wasn't ready is a disaster.[/quote]

Well, my sibling was one of the oldest and didn’t do well and had to be held back in 3rd grade. By the time he was a senior, he was too old for my parents to make him go to school. I had the embarrassment of having his diploma handed to me in art class a year later to give to him. 
By the way, jumping up a grade is not an easy fix.
