[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a summer birthday and I'm sending him although I get the feeling he will be the youngest and the only summer birthday.  I'm pretty sure he will not be a gifted athlete and he is average height.  I have no doubt he will look a year younger than everyone but I'm trying to prepare him socially and academically.  He is a tough little kid so if there is no bullying then we are hoping he will be okay.  I do feel that because of the redshirting and the expectations that the school is forcing most of us not to send our summer birthdays.

I hope we are doing the right thing and that it will not impact his self-esteem.  If it does not work out we will move him to public, catholic school or have him repeat.  I would rather have him repeat in a k curriculum than have him redshirted an repeat in pre-k.  At least he will have a more challenging academic experience.[/quote]

Sounds like we have the same kid.  Except we decided to have our son do a year of JrK.  I feel like we (pp and me) both made reasonable choices and I expect both of our kids have a great K year.
How about that -- we can assess a similar situation and come to different conclusions.  No flames, no arm-waving, no name calling.  [/quote]
