[quote=Anonymous]The prek teacher recommended it at a time when the dates were rolling back. When he started preschool, he was on track to go to K when he finished. By the time he finished, the cutoff had been moved from december to september, and he was an august baby. So he would have been the youngest in the grade and the teacher already had concerns about speech and fine motor skills. My parent grew up in the NYC system and were promoted every time they mastered the material. They struggled socially in HS and also in college because they were only 15 or 16 when they started. They highly recommended going in the other direction. You only get to be a kid once. He is now in college and in retrospect, he would have been fine either way. He did very well in school but I don't think it was because he was on the older side. [/quote]
