[quote=Anonymous]You are considering holding your child-- who "excels academically"-- back a year and putting him with kids who are 1.5 years younger than him? Because he is shy and got teased by other kids? Holding him back won't change that he's shy and that other kids might tease him (in fact, learning that he's going to turn *9* in the middle of second grade might lead to even more teasing), and sounds like it would do him a real disservice academically. (Also, where do you come from where people consider holding back a kid with an April birthday to wait to start kindergarten until they're 6.5, and kids who enter kindergarten at 5.5 are "one of the youngest"? That's not the case around here.)[/quote]
