[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an early September baby and the cutoff is Sept. 30. He's not even near kindergarten, but I'm redshirting 100%. I can afford childcare and there's no reason for my child to be the smallest in their class. [b]Plus, an extra year of childhood[/b]. If you want to start your 4-year-old in kindergarten I don't care, but many of us make a different choice.[/quote] I never understand this. Your son will turn 18 years after he was born, regardless of when he starts kindergarten. Or does childhood end when the child (or the no-longer-child, I guess?) enters kindergarten? [/quote] It's fairly obvious that people are talking about the benefit of pushing off schooling for one year -- kindergarten begins many years of intense and competitive schooling. [/quote]
