[quote=Anonymous]We held back our summer bday kid. From reading this thread, I think I see that the contention is between parents with summer bday kids that hold back and parents with summer bday kids that do not want to hold back. I can see why there is this feeling. There are a few parents at our bus stop who have summer bday kids they put into K on schedule. Holding back effectively takes away some kids of the same age / development and replaces them with kids a year older. The spring bday examples / 18 month birth range arguments sound like exaggerations for effect. And I think pre school / day care expense and attractiveness of full day kindergarten are factors in the decision that people do not like to mention. [/quote]
