APP study on holding back

Another APP article

Funny. The experts don’t seem to agree with holding back kids.

If the options are crappy home environment vs age-inappropriate K, then, yes, K might be the best option.

Recommended for health equity reasons because school is better than home for some kids. It's like PP didn't even read the links that are supposedly so convincing.[/quote]

Rich held back kids can also have a crappy home life.  Especially those whose parents ignore their delays.

Not all low income kids have crappy home lives.

Its amazing how many kids go to  K at 5 per the APP recommendation and are just fine and yet yours cannot.

This isn't about your kids at all.  It's about getting into a private  who doesn't have enough slots so they can spread out acceptances by holding back kids.  It isn't about the kids at all but about the parent and school.[/quote]

It's the AAP. And your link doesn't talk about rich held back kids so you better go find another source for your dubious claims. It only talks about specific kids. From your source:
Full-Day Kindergarten Programs includes a recommendation to offer full-day kindergarten programs to improve health prospects of [b]low-income and racial and ethnic minority children[/b]

And if its not about the kids, why do you even care?[/quote]

It impacts those of us who have young for the grade kids as the teachers and schools have unrealistic expectations for 5-year-olds, just like you do.[/quote]
