We started our son when he was 6 as opposed to 5 and we have zero regrets. It seems like the emotional development between 5 and 6 year old boy is generally pretty huge.<p>Grade-wise he mainly gets A&#x27;s and a B here and there.  Honors classes, etc.<p>While I don&#x27;t attribute the age he started completely to this, I do think it had a rather positive impact (currently in 8th).<p>Conversely, I think I started kindergarten at either 4 or 5 and struggled&#x2F;hated school my entire life. Even had to put up with Evil Nuns.  #jake #elwood Food for thought.
