[quote=Anonymous]I have an October kid who started K- DC is reading at 2nd grade - math at 1st grade (not sure about this one- could be more- the reading was assessed).. but there are a lot of skills learned at K and social aspects.. we had no choice due to bday that dc would be turning 6 shortly after entering k but it'll work out- if this above grade level performance remains- then dc will be in whatever the program for advanced kids will be in 2nd grade (or 3rd?  not sure since we're not there yet).

We did consider private due to concerns like OP and frankly it seems like the curriculum is the same at this level- there is no compelling reason to go private .. every school differentiates at most for K.. which our public school does and I know dc is in a group of advanced readers (dc told me but teacher told me dc was one of 4 that are reading books).

Basically, I wouldn't worry about it - dc is advancing outside of school but that's what dc did in preschool too.. just really curious.. must be dh's genes since dc has that jeopardy like skills that i hope for dc's sake stay.. we'll see.. [/quote]
