[quote=Anonymous]Ask any teacher of most any grade. They're going to tell you that skipping kindergarten would be a huge disservice to the child for years afterward. Teachers, please post on this!

If your concern is, "My very bright child is going to be bored stiff, is reading already prior to K, is doing math already...." please consider that K is [i]as much [/i]about adjusting to the school environment and preparing for the structure and faster pace that hits when K is done. You can work with the school to find things to keep a bright child engaged, and believe me, even a bright kid whom you fear will be bored in K is going to be engaged and excited by the social side of it -- and that side [i]matters[/i].

I can't believe any public school would allow a child to skip K anyway. A private school of course could allow it, but I would seriously question the decision and whether the school was doing it mostly to keep the parents happy -- not because it's the best thing for the child.[/quote]
