I think this falls under red shirting boys conversation we have had in the past. I know a mom that is seriously considering this for her son who will already be 6 when he is in kindergarten. She wants to start him a year later with the argument that he isn't reading yet. Huh?!? I think there is some other issues she isn't willing to talk about and I certainly don't push it.
