[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For KG you have a few options...just turned 5 during the summer and will turn 6 after KG is over, turned 5 during PreK and will turn 6 during the KG year, or will not turn 5 until after KG begins, and will not turn 6 until after 1st grade begins. Our DC was in the last boat and we redshirted. Why? KG is full day, I am a SAHM, and only did PreK for 1 year. Best decision we ever made. DC was always beyond in academics, even as a toddler; however, we felt that being the youngest in academia would not be right or just for DC. DC is brilliant and could go to college in lieu of HS, but we won't send to college early, either, as there are too many negatives when it comes to being the youngest. If you can afford to wait another year, hold 'em back and enjoy them. For many on this board it is really about money and free day care, er KG, when deciding on summer or early fall birthdays and redshirting[/quote]

I really don't see any reason for this child to have been held back.  By County standards he should have started Kindergarten when he was almost 5 and it sounds like he was well and ready.
