[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you in NY? It’s about the only place left in the US where a Nov. birthday has the option of going to K at 5. Can you link the studies on redshirting? The ones I have read are much less clear on their being an advantage, but it’s been a few years since I looked.[/quote] This. Op must live in nyc. Redshirting means holding back a kid born in August or earlier.[/quote] DP I'm not in NY, but live in a school district that allows parents to request that their child be allowed to enter K if they are turning 5 after the mid-September official cutoff all the way to turning 5 in mid-November of their K year. It's not state policy but the district can get around that by making a different process for enrollment. We know several parents who did this, and they all said filling in the form was all they had to do. There wasn't even an evaluation. [/quote]
