[quote=Anonymous]In Kindergarten, there are kids who are reading chapter books and kids who don't know phonetics yet. But more importantly, there are social issues - understanding how to make and keep friends, deal with frustration, etc.... I, personally, feel the reason to get a later start has more to do with emotional maturity than cognitive ability. Know your kid, assess the situation, and place them where they can do their best well rounded. Age is relative and there isn't a magic cut-off where everyone works best. Academically, they all catch up by third grade anyway. Forget the term "redshirt" and think about where your kid fits best. [/quote]
