[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had always planned to send our late May boy to K next year.  He is small and a bit immature, but there wasn't a real reason to hold him.  But now I am having second thoughts.

It looks like he will lose the last few months of preschool and the K prep that went with that.  We are trying to do stuff at home, but it just isn't the same.  There is also a decent chance that fall classes will be interrupted, at least to a degree.  If things are going to be messed up again in the fall, part of me would rather have him missing out on preschool, rather than K.

Anyone else considering this?  Do you think there will be more people on the fence about redshirting who decided to do it?[/quote]

NP- I am the OP of the June boy thread. This is just so tough for me because if people are holding back their May kids, if my June boy goes on to K as I had planned, he is so screwed. It just doesnt seem fair for these June kids at all. I totally get your predicament because Im in it as well, but I was under the impression that May kids did not get held back, and June was the month that was questionable. OP- are you hearing that many May kids are being held now??[/quote]

Why on earth would you send your June boy to Kindergarten next fall?  Why start their school experience off in this craziness?  Seriously - why would you even consider doing that?  I have a December child and I would gladly wait another year, but December is just too old.  If I had a child April or younger, there is literally no way I would send them to start school next fall.
