A kid repeating Kindergarten is usually a matter of maturity rather than lack of intelligence. Different kids mature at different rates and it does not mean they are smart or dumb. It's not uncommon (especially for boys) for a kid to repeat kindergarten. I think there is also a growing trend of parents opting to not start their kid in kindergarten at 5 and instead waiting and having them start at 6 yrs old.
shite, I wish I would have repeated kindergarten. I was one of the younger kids in my grade, I didn't turn 18 until 2 months after graduation. My kindergarten teacher recommended to my parents that I be held back based on maturity. I guess my mother thought that being held back in k-5 suggested something about intelligence and sent me on because I was a bright kid. I think that the extra year and confidence I would have gained from being a year older would have done wonders for me academically in the long run. I always had trouble in high school prioritizing schoolwork until I got older.

It's ridiculous that you and your wife are spying on your child in the first place. Now you have to deal with the potential consequences of seeing that picture.

I personally know 5 families who held their kid back in K-5 an extra year or waited to start them until they were six. They all cite the exact things you discussed.
