Home educator of five children here, I say GOOD. Formal education starts too early in general, and parents should not hesitate to delay a year if they think their kid would benefit. If I had it to do over again and wasn't worried about government interference, I would not start lessons until a child turned 7.

Anecdotally, parents do this in the US because they're more concerned with a younger, smaller boy being picked on than they are a younger, smaller girl.
