[quote=Anonymous]as a parent of a child held back b/c of maturity and social/emotional readiness issues (having nothing to do with intelligence) this entire thread is really bothersome to me. It's nice to know that I need to be armed at all times if parents find out my DC is a year older b/c I feel like I will get shunned or lambasted. YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR YOUR CHILD, TO ENSURE THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL (and no I do not mean athletically successful, I mean academically). If they are not ready at 5 then it's really not a good idea to start them. Why would you set your child up for failure. I honestly do not see what the difference is if a child is held back a year or if one goes in early. As long as they can manage and be successful then it was the right decision. Does it matter if they go to college at 17 or 19--NO it doesn't. [/quote]
