[quote=Anonymous]The reality is that kindergarten is not about academics. When I entered kindergarten I could do math and read at 4th-5th grade level. But I learned about ecology, and coloring and playing in the sandbox and my class had a guinea pig. Some schools may have a gifted program that starts in K to identify kids and that can help. But in APS there will also be lots of other advanced kids and that fact will mean the material by any decent teacher will not be boring. The advanced part becomes a much bigger problem at about 3rd grade where things are much more academic (and to some extent 1st where they start doing phonics etc in seats and as a class) but kindergarten will be fine. Don't make this is a problem unless it is one. You'll have much more to worry about! [/quote]
