[quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten teachers often ask for information from parents, and by extension often find it helpful to get information from preschool teachers/daycare providers for the kids that attended either, so I think you can pass on that information in a straightforward way without being coming across as "pushy" since it would be "whole child" stuff, not just academic stuff.
Kindergarten teachers are used to getting a wide range of academic levels, reading levels, etc., and should be able to quickly identify where your child needs to be, and cluster you kid at the appropriate level within the classroom. Kindergarten is also 50% about socialization and learning the ropes about how elementary school "works" so it's important for your kid to experience that.
FWIW, my kid enjoyed kindergarten, even though was at the "advanced" end of things, but the teachers began different kinds of assessments and ultimately later on in elementary they made the decision to have kid skip a grade. Not to say that is what will happen in your case, but just to note that this worked great for us, and I'm glad we went through kindergarten first. [/quote]
