I know. I interpreted this article as: 6 year old kindergartners are more mature than 5 year old kindergartners. Perhaps they are as mature as 6 year old first graders.
Delaying putting your kid into kindergarten is just giving them more time to ripen on the vine. Delaying also means that you will be supporting them for one more year before they graduate school and also takes one more year of earning potential away from their working years. Food for thought.
- corysama 11y agoThe article is not comparing 5 years olds to 6 year olds. It is comparing 11 years olds who started school at 5 vs 11 year olds who started school at 6.
- Dylan16807 11y agoBut a big problem is that it's comparing 11 year olds in an easier grade with 11 year olds in a harder grade, rather than two groups that started at different ages but still have the same age<->grade mapping.
