[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holding your kid back can potentially cost your kid a year of lost earnings (80k starting salary 15 yrs from now?) by getting to the workforce a year later. [/quote]

You win for most WTF-y-est response in the thread.  A kid whose parent is trying to get around a cut-off date for early K admission is going to be footing the bill through college and likely grad school.  That one year late to the entry-level job will have less impact than an early K start could.[/quote]

I don't understand your point.

A kid starting K at 4 almost 5 graduates college at 21.
A kid starting K at 5 almost 6 graduates college at 22.

That's 1 year of income difference for the kid. If they do grad school it's still 1 year difference. Plus the parents have to foot another 10-20k bill of daycare/transitional K at age 4/5. So yes, there are real financial impacts that apparently nobody considers. [/quote]

I'd rather use that extra year to pay for graduate school vs. preschool/day care.  Lots of different financial impacts.[/quote]
