[quote=Anonymous]I have a close friend with a son with an August birthday. Preschool recommended holding him back (for social/maturity reasons, not necessarily academics), but she chose to put him in the "right" class. Now in middle school, it's pretty clear that his true peers are the class behind his (where he would be if he had red-shirted). And honestly, I think the maturity level affects the academics too - he's a smart kid, but the level of work requires that he have the ability and maturity to be able to stop the "fun" (videogames, sports, etc) and focus on homework and studying. And he has a very hard time with that, and his grades suffer because of it. [/quote]
