[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is strange.  I have a 4-year old with a June birthday and it would not even occur to me to not send him to kindergarten in the fall.  We have several friends with similarly aged children and they are doing the same. I wonder if red-shirting is more common in some neighborhoods than others?  [/quote]
No, I'd say most June boys proceed "on time".  [/quote]

+1 I have two early June boys and they both started K on time.  One is now in 2nd and one is in K.  They are doing well academically, but I will say the 2nd grader is somewhat more immature than some others in his class.  I think part of this is just his personality though, not necessarily because he is younger.  I do think it also depends on the make up of the rest of the class.  Last year when he was in 1st, it seemed that all the other boys in his class had fall birthdays, so many were 8-9 months older than he was.  This year, more of the boys have spring/summer birthdays so he seems more "on track" with the rest of the class.  [/quote]
