[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. Because of where we lived at the time, ours started kindergarten at 4 despite turning 5 in late November, and never had any problems. This sounds specific to your son, not all boys born at the same time.[/quote] Thank you. Signed late Dec. baby who graduated at 17, college at 21, Phd by 25, postdoc now millionaire in late 40s. And, grad school was free. [/quote] That’s sounds like an argument for redshirting. Despite graduating earlier by one year, you still ended up in the same average place as your peers. It didn’t dramatically made you more successful or gave you a leg up in your career. If a kid is redshirted and starts later it is unlikely to have a negative impact. If the kid is struggling in kindergarten, it’s better to redshirt knowing that much, and likely will help a little because at that age one year matters a lot for getting to a maturity level where they can do well in school.[/quote]
