[quote=Anonymous] Surely the answer to the redshirting issues around 4 and 6 year olds being in the same room and compared as peers would be solved by just putting them in separate classes. Have 4 entry dates evenly spread throughout the year, say to match the seasons: September 1st, December 1st, March 1st, June 1st. Have a hard maximum age cut off so anyone who has had their 6th birthday will be denied entry. It’s the most disadvantage kids that have to get that free childcare ASAP so their parents can bring in wages that are hurt by the current system that allows 4 year olds without preparation to be compared with middle class 6 year olds in early kindergarten, putting them on the dumb track when they have barely started. This is from personal experience of family members with English as a second language. [/quote]
