[quote=Anonymous]The reason that the child is older is an important factor though. If a child was having behavioural problems at 5 and the parents thought that it was just immaturity but there where other reasons as well that they don’t out grow of in a year then they will take that in to kindergarten at 6 and still struggle. Looking in the later grades, if a kid is told to repeat a year due to poor performance then they might not fair much better and have an added chip on their shoulder over getting left behind friends. Others could just luckily have been born in the first quarter of the year group and naturally where one of the oldest. The increased maturity relative to peers increases aptitude and confidence etc.[/quote]
