[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids will forget K experience for the most part if it's negative. We went with your DH's instinct, opted to try the free choice (easier to stomach a free mistake than a really expensive one) and it ended up not being a mistake. Public has worked well for us.[/quote]

OP here. We are leaning towards trying out public kindergarten. As long as he can read and count to 100 by the end of kindergarten, we think he should be ok. we will meet some of the neighborhood kids since the public elementary school is about half a mile from our house compared to 10 miles away like the private school we like best. If we are not satisfied, we will switch to private school in 1st grade.

Hope we are making the right decision.

Our older child seems average academically compared to our younger child who is significantly more advanced for his age. Our 4 year old has not mastered writing his letters yet. Our not yet 2 year old knows his letters, colors and can count in multiple languages. I feel like the younger one picks up the material better than the 4 year old but he is 2 years younger.[/quote]
