[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't redshirt my late summer birthday kid, and he is now disrupting the hell out of your kids' K class (seriously, emails home every single week)  If we hold him back, people will complain about the K who is red shirted and making their kids look and feel dumb when he has no obvious special needs.

Maybe the 7 year old K has no obvious special needs BECAUSE he has been red shirted and thus given more time to mature.[/quote]

If you hold your late summer birthday kid back, they will not be 7 in K.  I think most people are ok enough with holding late summer kids back, but in the case of my kid's K class, there is a boy who turned 7 in December.  He's 21 months older than the youngest kid in the class.  He didn't have cancer or lyme disease.  He's a bit disruptive, but really just seems very old to be in K.  I know he has some learning/behavior issues and I'm not sure 1st grade would be better for him (meaning he'd be equally disruptive) but the giant age gap is notable. [/quote]
