[quote=Anonymous][quote]If she is really advanced and has been in a good preschool for enough time to gain solid social skills, by all means allow her to skip k. We did not and had a horrible time in k and 1st grade with a kid bored stiff, who actually had to unlearn her skills and relearn everything from scratch. Tears, boredom, trouble with discipline, hated school. Now that more subjects are actually more interesting, she's back to happy, but why put yourself through this? There is no mandatory k attendance, so 1st grade is actually structured wery much like k. If dc in on an upswing, why break it? Go to GMU, spend $250 on a unbiased assessment and take it from there. There is nothing magical about k which does not exist in1st grade. [/quote] STRONGLY disagree. Maybe this child was unfortunate and had poor teachers. I am a former first grade and K teacher. There is so much more to this.[/quote]
