[quote=Anonymous]No, I wouldn't do EEK. There's a lot of writing in our jurisdiction also and it really kills kids who have delayed fine motor skills. If you want to send him early he should be way ahead of the pack in all areas. The only student I have seen do well in EEK is a girl who was reading well at that age, had amazing handwriting, and was 100% obedient to the teacher. In contrast our DC's class had two boys who just made the cut off and were sent on time. One was probably doing as well as your child academically but was very socially mature at the time. The second was reading chapter books and could do a lot of advanced math but was less socially immature. Both of them ended up struggling and in the end had to get special needs services under developmental delays (no diagnosis). It's possible both of these kids could probably have passed the county's EEK test but I've talked to both sets of parents and both wish they had waited another year. [/quote]
