[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter turns 5 in mid-July, she was the youngest child in her PreK class this year. We applied for K but have been offered a PreK spot at one of the Big 3 instead.

Would love to hear people’s thoughts about this. She has been doing well in PreK this year so we were a bit surprised by the feedback that she was young for K, just want to do the right thing for her.[/quote]

Although in general red shirt a child has advantage, but I wonder are there known Social effects of going through puberty earlier than peers in the same class? [/quote]

For girls, it sucks. Generally, at that stage, girls are trying to fit in. You don't want to be the first. Just right along with everyone else.[/quote]

+1. And it's not just that. You really have to look down the road, which is hard to do at this age.

You don't want the first 18 YO in the senior class in high school either. Believe me.[/quote]

A kid born right after cutoff date will be 18 almost all of the senior year. This has been going in with many kids, and no problems. Why should the redshirted kid face a problem. 
I am trying to understand it. [/quote]
