[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you are insane. My DD has a mid August bday. I sent her on time. The cutoff in most schools are Sept 1 or later, so your child doesn't need to be redshirted for any reason. What rat race is there in ES? Only if you make it so. I would take the lead from your child. She is showing you she wants to be challenged. Not sure why you are stopping her. You can ensure she has a great childhood still by leaving a lot of time for play. It doesn't have to be a rat race.[/quote] OP here. I completely agree that the rat race in ES is a large part the parents, but a competitive minded child picks up on these things from her peers. The first thing we have done is to pull her from Montessori and put her in play based (the former just fed her constant desire for advancement and did nothing to foster other aspects. Not a criticism of montessori it just worked out that way[/quote]
