Even now that she is among the oldest in her class (though has never been the oldest), she is still on the you get side, but more middle of the pack.

In our well-known private, I have never seen a girl or a boy with an august birthday going on time. Plenty/all are redshirted

They are all socially immature and she should be doing fantastic since she is measured at a year behind what her grade should be.

She's not a year behind, as a late August birthday she's only a couple of weeks older than the official start of the grade. She should be on the more mature end of her class.

You said she is held back. And since she should be on the more mature end of her class, why isn’t she since you held her back to remedy that?

Actually my DD was born 5 days before cut off (not a couple of weeks) and out of 18 kids she is the 4th oldest… so what… 65-70th percentile? Giving that is is scoring 90-99th percentile she is definitely doing great!

You want a cookie? She should be scoring that if she is the 4th oldest. That’s nothing to brag about.

What is your problem? Why so bitter? Why do you care this much?
My guess is that you are super competitive and you want your non-redshirted summer kid to do better than anyone else…. How weird… No chance you would so bitter unless it was personal

Public or private? Boy or girl?

Would it be better to redshirt before he enters PreK or the PreK year?

I can have him do the 3s year at his current daycare and then move to private school or start attending private school in the 3s and then repeat the 3s or PreK4 if necessary.

I'd look for an interesting program that isn't too academic so he doesn't get too far ahead. Maybe something outdoors based on expeditionary? I wouldn't have him repeat the same thing two years in a row or repeat K.

What?! You suggest stunting his growth and his abilities so he doesn’t “get ahead?” Unbelievable!!!!
