Should your child return to the classroom in person this autumn? Research from New South Wales, Australia indicates that delayed school entry does not reflect on the performance in mathematics and reading attainment of pupils. Since many parents are afraid of sending back their children to school, in an attempt to guarantee their academic progress, the continuous development of cognitive and communication skills. However, being able to delay starting school after early care is a privilege available to the few Australian families. Some parents are currently trying to delay the enrollment of their children because of the coronavirus pandemic and the health risks related to attendance of full-time public schools. Therefore, the research has good news for the families able to afford full-time care for their children at home. Nonetheless, holding back some children and sending others can have additional effects over the structure of the class itself: “Holding some children back from school and sending others when first eligible means the age range in classrooms can be as much as 19 months between the youngest and oldest students.”
