8 year old in kindergarten

Is it ok for an 8 year old to be in kindergarten. They’re not mentally delayed they’re just stubborn.

Often is this okay in the long run.  Unless there is an academic, special need that is.

I think it can be ok.

But a child that young sometimes needs to be motivated. In addition sometimes what can be considered stubbornness, can be a learning disability.  What has led to this question being asked, what has the school done to help ensure this child doesnt continue to fall behind?
