The prevalence of redshirting around here is baffling. The cutoff is what it is. Unless there is an educator telling you it might be best to wait, send your kid to school on schedule.[/quote]

Educators told us to wait due to immaturity issues. It was 100% the right call. [/quote]

That’s a made up reasons to keep you in their preschool longer. Can’t wait til it’s outlawed.[/quote]
I think in CA they passed some rule  that only allows for redshirting if you have a doctor's  note to indicate some development delay.  If you hold back your kid from starting K on time, when the child is registered for school, the school will determine if that child should just go straight to 1st grade.  I think this is a good idea.

Not all developmental delays should be a reason to hold back.  Mine did.  If anything the more advanced academics helped.  The problem with skipping K is some kids are not ready for 1st if they were not homeschooled or at an academic preschool so they'd be really disruptive in class trying to catch them up.[/quote]
