[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Wrong, wrong, wrong. It's a decision made by competitive, nervous parents who are worried because everyone else is doing it. They don't want their child to be the youngest in the class by over a year. I have three kids in private schools and everyone else knows this. Also it helps the schools because they want an even playing field. They want to hold back kids who can't sit still and can't keep up academically. [/quote] A child who can't sit still isn't ready. Why would you want such a child in your DC's class? Why would you want a child who takes a disproportionate amount of the teacher's attention because he wasn't ready to be there? Why wouldn't you want your DC to be in a classroom with children ready to learn? "Everyone else knows this." They do? How? Do they read the other kids' files? This is urban legend, motivated by mean, competitive parents.[/quote]
