[quote=Anonymous] I am not a fan of the NCLB K which is why I chose to leave my son behind for a year (pun intended). We sought the advice of his preschool teachers, pediatrician, etc and everyone agreed with this decision. So, he got the old fashioned K experience in a Pre-K class and it was a decision we will never regret. I don't care if all the kids look the same by whenever. We did it for his own development and to let him enjoy being a kid and focus on social skills and all of that. Once he entered K he truly was ready to sit still (to some degree) and his mind was ready for all the academics. He had a great year. I feel strongly this would not have been the case if we had sent him earlier. Every child is different. I highly suspect few of us red-shirting parents do it for sports or to increase our kids chances of AAP, TJ or Harvard. Many of us do it because it is what our kids need and we believe there is value in the old fashioned K experience.[/quote]
