...However, when he is in primary school, most of his classmates were born in 2010, and then your son was born in Sep 09, he may ask himself what is the problems with me? Why I am older than other people even more than a year.....

Good point! thanks for reminder!
But why there is no problem for kid to be super big boy in PC or SPK ? There will also be kids are small and a year younger.
U also need to think about how will your son feel about it when he goes to primary school.
In kindergarten, he may not know he is super BIG compare to others. However, when he is in primary school, most of his classmates were born in 2010, and then your son was born in Sep 09, he may ask himself what is the problems with me? Why I am older than other people even more than a year.....
Unless you can guaranteed that your son can go to a school like SPK, PC.... this kind of one dragon school.
I think if you decided to stay in the same K for PN to K3. It will be fine.. But if you will apply another K for K1 or K2, then have to think carefully as other parents stated before, more & more Ks not accept super big son like PC. Then your choice will be limited... i.e. 唔上唔落~

...there is no meaning to compete in the very beginning in kinder, but I will perfer to step backward to look the results for the whole education journey. (1 year can finish a master degree, why as a mother, I will waster my kid's 1 year time.)
Don't take me wrong. I don't mean to let my son being big kid because I want him to compete better in kinder stage. Instead, I do this is just because I really view the whole 20+ years of study as a whole education journey. That's why I don't think deferring 1 year is a waste of his time. It's rather to let him build a better foundation for his basic development in early years before feeding him the over his standard academic learnings. HK has a very strange education environment. All schools and kids are learning things at least 1 year higher than their age/level.
Like what I discussed with Wishwong in earlier posts, she also pointed out that overseas education even send kids to kg until 4/5 years old. There are even some schools overseas arrange boys to start school a year later.
It's right that if you look back to your ex classmates there are cases with outstanding students born in Oct-Dec. it's because the development of boys will catch up with girls until teenages(late primary or secondary school). and by secondary school, the development discrepancy between boys/girls or Jan born with Dec born will be diminished or even not exist.
My girls can speak full sentence and follow your instruction. But she is very shy, so she didn't have good performance during the interview. We got an offer from Our Lady and SN only which are not our targets. Luckily, she have outstanding performance during KM interview (I never see my shy daughter can answer all questions to the stranger).
I checked SC, KM and LH also accept 0909BB to apply PN this year. So far I know KM and LN are 100% promoted to K1.
