This is similar to what Dr. Raymond Moore talked about in his book, "Better Late Than Early."
Except that he said they should stay at home until between the ages of 8-10 when school should start, depending on the child's readiness. He said that they would catch up quickly to their age mates once put in the age-appropriate classrooms.
Interestingly, in Finland, school does not begin until age 7. Students spend only 60% as much time in school as American children do, they have no homework until the last grades, and no tests until the last year or two. Yet they score #1 in the world on exams when they are finally tested.
Thanks for your comment!

We have the same thing here in Canada.
