[quote=Anonymous]My daughter went to a private kindergarten at 4, started 1st grade in FCPS at 5, and was selected for AAP. She is now a 13-year-old 9th grader taking all honors classes, including algebra 2. Academically, it has been fine. She is very tall, so she blended in physically and has always been mistaken for being much older than she is. There have been some social hiccups along the way. Many kids redshirt, so a good third of her class is nearly two years older. She was not ready emotionally for the FLE curriculum and asked to be opted out of a few topics for a few years, so I advise being ready for situations like that. She was a "kid" a year less and has no friends her actual age/cohort. Some of them are already driving. On balance, I still think it was the right thing to do for her.[/quote]
