[quote=Anonymous]We had our August bday girl start K just after 6 and it was a fantastic decision. Life is about a lot more than reading, a good teacher can differentiate that. Perhaps it's that she is young, maybe the school isn't the right fit? We redshirted by switching schools and repeating a JK year, might be something to consider. I don't know if all of your kids are at the same school but I think it would be a lot harder socially to redshirt at the same school she has already attended. If you are open to switching, maybe find a school with "younger" peers. My DD is in second grade and your description sounds more like her first grade class last year. We were told by a very experienced teacher that it can be beneficial to give the youngest child in the family the experience of being older and having things come more easily by redshirting if their bday is on the cusp. That way their entire life experience isn't struggling to keep up. [/quote]
