[quote=Anonymous]The answer to this question every single time is "it depends on the kid." I have young kids, but my oldest is in first. He is a mid-July birthday. He went on time -- so he had half of K and most of 1st virtual. He is on the taller side for his age, very outgoing, and precocious. However, he was not reading. I never considered holding him back. However, I have a friend who did the opposite and it was definitely the right thing for her kid. You know your kid best. His first grade teacher has said he is doing very well, he is now reading well above grade level. He would have been so bored if we waited another year. There are downsides to holding your kid back too -- being bored can lead to bad behavior. If money is no issue and you are really on the fence, I think the idea of sending to a private K as a test is a good one, but probably not necessary! Good luck![/quote]
