[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Don’t you think the parents of the July kids say this about the June kids?  It seems convenient to draw the line where it is favorable to you.  And depending on where in the month you are talking, there could be only a week between your kid and OP’s.[/quote]

PP here, my ds is end of June [/quote]

Ok, so it’s a month from OP’s late May.  But it still seems like July parents would say June is too much to redshirt, august would say July, etc.[/quote]

Im the pp of the june boy. I dont disagree with you. Only reason Ive been considering is because I dont want my DS being a full year younger+ than so many peers. I most likely will not be holding him back though and will hope for the best that most people just send their June kids and not too many held back their June kids last year.[/quote]
