That's why there can be a 17 month difference between the oldest and youngest kid in the class. How do you decide who needs to be held back and who doesn't. A kid can be socially behind but physically way ahead and held back.
In alberta kids held back in October might not be a big deal since they're entering kindergarten too early anyway and that's about to change but May would be unreasonable IMO.
