[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't "hold him back". He has a LATE Sept birthday (end of the month) and would have been the youngest kid in the entire class AND school b/c anyone after Sept 1 had to "test in". My son and 2 others were tested and my son "passed" and the other 2 didn't. So, we decided to wait and let him grow socially and here he is in kindergarten. There is no perfect answer in these cases. I could have sent him "early" and then he would have been the YOUNGEST and might have been unprepared...
 
Thanks to those with HELPFUL advice. Those that were rude - really? Where did that get you? [/quote]
Well, you could have sent him last year but chose not to. You wanted him to have a year to mature and not be the youngest. OK, he is not the youngest. Now you are getting the year of maturity that you signed up for so enjoy it, I'm sure he'll learn something and gain that maturity you are looking for. Next year he will be one of the oldest in first grade... again that is what you wanted. Your other option is to do as PP said and lobby to get him moved into first this year but he will be among the youngest... not the end of the world but was something you had wanted to avoid.
