[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who is answering this before their kids are HS age is giving premature feedback. Middle school / HS is when the reasons for potential regrets (if present) will become show up [/quote]

[b]No, because you can reassess the situation in later grades and hold back if it is really for the best. It's easy to repeat a middle school year by switching schools. [/b]

If you hold back at K you can't get that extra year back unless you have a unicorn school that lets kids skip grades.

Send on time and monitor. That is the sensible and less risky path.[/quote]

That’s an insane perspective. No WAY is that easier. Do you have kids??[/quote]

The insane perspective is to hold back at K for no good reason except "everyone else does it."[/quote]

How is “it will make my kid more compatible with his or her cohort” insane?  That seems eminently sensible. And there’s nothing magical about age 5. More countries start their kids at age 6, and nobody moans about stealing the kids’ adulthood years. [/quote]

It does not matter what other countries do.  The norm here and expectation is they go at age five.  [/quote]

Apparently this “norm” and “expectation” are not universal, or you wouldn’t spend hours every day haunting every redshirting thread on DCUM. [/quote]
