[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm considering giving my child an extra year of preschool because her birthday is 4 days before the school cutoff and she's on the shy side (and super small).  I'm sure she'd do fine academically; I'm more concerned about how she'll do socially, especially down the line.  We haven't decided yet, but are strongly leaning in that direction.

From everything I'm reading on DCUM, though, elementary school in MCPS is unchallenging.  I don't want to make her bored out of her mind.  She's either going to be the absolute youngest or among the oldest.  What would you do??  We're not dying to pay for an extra year of preschool, but want to make the best long term decision.

My son had an "average" birthday (May), but b/c of some speech issues and immaturity, we kept him in preschool an extra year. (He's in 3rd now.)  Kindergarten is absolutely not  what we experienced as kids - or at least nothing that comes close to my experiences.  So in his case, it worked out well.  He does favor the girls, however, as the girls in his class tend to be much calmer and more mature.  But he has friends - both boys and girls -
 he's kept since K.

It will work out.[/quote]
