Here is why all 5 year olds, barring a recommendation or diagnosis from a doctor should be required to attend school.

"In early childhood classrooms, where a month or two age difference can make a big difference, teachers perceive the youngest children in the class as having more attention struggles, and behavioral struggles, than the older children, irrespective of the child’s actual age.”

I don't get it. There is going to be a group of children that is the youngest, whether or not every child starts "on time". So this research is not relevant. Is there a study that shows that the likelihood of the youngest children in the class to be diagnosed with ADHD increases as the proportion of children in the class who started kindergarten a year late increases?

No, there isn't. [/quote]
