[quote=Anonymous]I have a boy with a late Fall birthday. EEK was not an option (missed the deadline). We explored private school options to push ahead a year, but ultimately sent on time to an independent school that allows for acceleration. For us, best of both worlds. Academically ahead while with the correct social/emotional peer group. I would absolutely not have redshirted if he had been born earlier...he can easily hang academically with the kids in the grade above and socially, too. I think knowing your child is really important. Staying on grade gave my child more time to develop fine motor & emotional skills. But if we weren't able to accelerate academically, it would have been a poor fit.[/quote]
