I struggled mightily with this one... our oldest son was 4.5 years old when he came home and the first school year he went to a 4 year old preschool class. The next year he was old enough to go to K and he knew a lot of the things needed to "get in" but his english was still very rough. He has an early birthday as it is so he'll be 19.5 years old when he graduates high school (Lee and I joke that he'll be the only 8th grader with a drivers license ha ha)
So I wanted to send him on and my DH Lee wanted to let him go to Jr K (they do everything the same as K but it doenst officially count as K). I didnt really want to do that but now I realize that it was absolutely the best choice for us. Our younger son is 9 months younger than Tim so both boys are in K and that extra Jr K year really made a difference. Both guys are doing great but it was a good decision for us to keep back. That being said, had you asked me two years ago I would have been adamant that he needed to go to K and not jr K
good luck!
