[quote=Anonymous]My kids were October birthdays. We did the third year of Montessori to complete the cycle and then went to public K. So they were in K with age-mates instead of being the youngest. We though about advancing the oldest due to academic ability, but after talking to the school, we learned that the cohort in the K class was actually much stronger academically than the 1st grade cohort, so we picked the stronger, same-age peer group. Worked out great (and the class ahead turned out to be a troublesome class, so we dodged a bullet). And no, bright as they were, they were not bored. The could both read fluently, but so could enough other kids to make a strong reading group for them. Same with math. And that is just a fraction of the fun times to be had in Kindergarten. Not boring. Notably, our public elementary at the time was known for training teachers to manage in class differentiation, and most were quite impressive at it. That was over a decade ago though.[/quote]
