[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids in a kindergarten class who start "on time" will have birthdays ranging over one year. Any who get held back will cause there to be a two-year spread. So yes, a child who turned six in October of his (first) kindergarten year and gets held back will be almost two years older than a child who turned five in August and starts kindergarten as the youngest in the class. This is not new. Kids have always been held back. Teachers have always had to manage wide age (and ability) spreads. And statistically, holding a kid back is most effective in the primary (K-2) grades. I don't understand the freak out. [/quote] oh you aren't talking about a redshirted kid - you're talking about an ontime kid with a fall birthday who is subsequently held back a year. Sorry didn't read that correctly. [/quote]
