[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t be serious. They can’t give a reason you should hold your daughter back — behavioral, academic readiness, social, emotional — because there isn’t one! They want money from you for another year. That’s it. I definitely would not red shirt and I’d frankly be ticked off that her school cares more about making money off of you than your daughter’s academic growth. Gross. [/quote]

OP here. My husband feels the way you feel. I was surprised, but can be swayed either way. However, I am beyond annoyed/frustrated and it is changing my outlook on the school.[/quote]

OP, it is partly as  they don't have a lot of slots so they can stall interested families and partly because it's easier for them.  Older kids are generally easier for them as they require less prep work however a good preschool should prepare kids for K.  We looked into privates in 4th grade and almost all tried to insist I hold my child back.  Child did great in school, all top grades, top testing scores.  It made no sense to hold the child back.  They couldn't give me a good reason except that was their policy.  [/quote]
