[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid with a birthday just past the cut off and one just before.  No private we asked was willing to budge for the late birthday, so we kept her in pre-K another year (at a preschool that was set up for that - none of them really knew how old the other kids were and the kids who had to stay stayed together as a class).  The one with the late summer birthday went ahead because the pre-school thought she was ready, although I could have kept her there another year.

If I had it to do over again, I probably would have looked harder at holding the one who is the youngest in the class back, not pushing to send the one with the late birthday ahead.

Good luck with whatever you decide.[/quote]

OP -- Thank you for the information.[/quote]

We have a DS w/September b-day.  We did hold him back one year at the Pre-K level.  He's now in high school.  By no means is he the oldest but there's not doubt that he is much more mature; takes school, classes, homewrk, extra curriculars, including sports, very seriously.  We're glad we did it.  So much so, we did the same thing with his younger birthday who has an October birthday.  Would highly recomment it (we put both in privates).  [/quote]
