Wow! Seven year olds in Kindy??? I'm shocked! I cannot even imagine. My dd is 7 and in 2nd grade.
Redshirting is not very popular in my area. I do hear of November-born (boys mostly) sometimes being held back (our cut-off is Dec 1). It seems to me if there is a legitimate issue of developmental concern then it is the district's responsibility to supplement the child's education with support services.
