[quote=Anonymous]My kid has an early Sept birthday - so most of his class from last year went to (public) K's last year. His school has a K program, so we did that for no credit, since he doesn't meet the age cutoff.

We didn't push for early entrance to K because we saw him having some issues focusing on work, and didn't want to stress it. This year - new class, new teachers, and the issues we had are gone. I think part of the problem he had was getting stuck in a rut with teachers that would happily sit down with him and give him 1:1 attention to do worksheets or whatever if he didn't do it when the rest of the class did. I wish I'd noticed more last year and pushed for changes.

So - would your son be in the same class with the same teachers? I would recommend a different school (or class) if you can, because I do think that kids and teachers fall into ruts and have limited sets of tools. A change in environment could help a lot, or let you see that it's just an issue he has that you'll need to work on (attention, etc.). [/quote]
