[quote=Anonymous]I would like to echo a PP's comment regarding illness or adoption being factors. We made a difficult decision to have our son repeat Kindergarten when he moved from private to public school due to health issues. We didn't know exactly what and needed more time to figure the issues out before the curriculum got tougher. Some parents/kids have interpreted his age being a year older as "being held back" which is uninformed and hurtful. Turns out he has some complicated and serious health issues. BTW, I know of two other red-shirted kids in his class, none of whom stand out due to size. And some of us tried to conceive but took longer than planned. We were happy to get pregnant -- we didn't care when.[/quote]
