[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS had a summer bday and was also a preemie. When he turned 5 at the end of June, I had him start PreK instead of K and it was the best decision I ever made. He really benefitted from the extra year...both socially and academically and I never regretted having him start late. He graduated from HS in 2020 and was much more ready to take on the challenges of college than he would have otherwise been.[/quote] I wish we had done that with our summer birthday DS. He ended up having learning issues and had to repeat a grade later on which was not great.[/quote] Exactly same, PP. Pushed July DS on time in spite of admissions suggesting him be held back. Our mistake. Repeated in a different middle school. He's a senior at age 19 now. He'll definitely be ready for college, but not overtly "older" than his grade. IMHO, kids can really benefit from the extra year. Hold back if you can. [/quote]
