[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS, it's easy to request kindergarten a year late. If your child is in a special-ed pre-school program, you don't get an extra year of that. So you have to pay out-of-pocket for an extra year of the 4s class. So what is the harm of that happening in DC? I just don't think parents should be entitled to an extra paid year of pre-k. If a kid was born in September, there is no difference from a kid who was born October 1 and is in the next grade. They are days apart from birth even if they fall into the next grade per DCPS' rules. [/quote] But it pretty clearly is unfair if Johnny and Timmy are both born in late September, both will experience the same “disadvantage” if they go to school on time, but only Johnny’s parents can afford an extra year so the school lets Johnny redshirt but not Timmy.
