[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I agree that parents should have some leeway to decide what is best for their individual child, BUT when people hold back spring birthdays, it makes my 4 yo who I am sending on time look VERY young in comparison and That's not fair to him. If there is a real reason fine, but the schools do not require some evaluation or reason for not starting K on time. I think (just picking a month) for say June and earlier birthdays some sort of evaluation should be done so parents can't just willy nilly hold their kid back so he is bigger and stronger. My 4 yo is just your average 4 year old and he is most certainly ready for K, but comparing him against kids 1 1/2 years older than him is not fair (unless obvious the older child has some extenuating circumstances- but I know people who held a May back for sports reasons... )[/quote]
