[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ll have to reach out to your school board.  A redshirted spring/summer birthday would be turning six before K not 7.  [/quote]

I’m talking about our current class. 3 kids are 7 already and it’s February. This is a Sep 1 cutoff public school.[/quote]

What do you want the school to do?

This is a serious question.

Those kids didn’t attend kindergarten last year. Do you want them to start school in 1st grade? What are their teachers supposed to do? [/quote]

Put them in a remedial class.  [/quote]

These classes don't even exist anymore. [/quote]

We need to bring them back.  If a kid cannot handle k at age five, they still need to go for the supports and should go to a special class.  [/quote]

Which cost money. Are you too stupid to realize the schools can save money by just letting the kids start later than use your unnecessary and much more expensive solution?[/quote]

Starting later isn't fixing these kid's problems.  The parents ignoring them is making it worse too.  It's one thing to hold them back for therapies, etc. but that's not what's happening so you are postponing these kids getting real help in school because you will not help them outside of school.  At least if the kids are in school, they can get evaluated and IEP's to address the concerns.  [/quote]
