[quote=Anonymous]I've skipped the 7 pages of what I assume are fully of stupid redshirting arguments, so let me just say this: Holding back could be the right move, IF you have your child in a strong program that's working to prep him for K. If you just hold him back and aren't pushing services and school readiness, you're not doing that much good. If you think the school has a strong K program, you could consider starting him in K and then repeating it (at that school or a different school) as opposed to an additional year in PK. But, a lot of this depends on your kid's challenges. My kid's challenges are social and his strengths are academic, and he does well following rules. So we didn't hold him back, and I think that was the right choice. If your child has more challenges due to attention and language issues, then holding back so he can spend more time working on basic literacy skills might make more sense! [/quote]
