I think any teacher and most parents would agree it is better to send your child to another year of kindergarten than having them always be behind. If your child is always just a little behind the other children it can be so frustrating and upsetting for them and even carry on up to the high school years. Repeating a year of preschool or kindergarten is so common, and is the best age for a child to repeat a class if all they need is a little extra time. My personal opinion is to not get your 5 year old all worked up with a tutor and too much pressure to do what the other children his a age are doing, and just talk to his kindergarten teacher about doing another year.
