[quote=Anonymous]What I think is ridiculous is that people have no problem "redshirting" kids, but then if someone wants to start their child early we are criticized. My daughter misses the cut-off by 11 days. I could have actually had a c-section to have her born before the cut-off but I chose not to. We are starting her early at a private kindergarten. From there we will either continue to send her to a private school or put her in public in first grade. Both my husband and I graduated college at 21 and both of us have fall birthdays. We would rather our daughter be the youngest than be the oldest. She is mature enough for Kindergarten as well - she knows her numbers and letters, can do two digit addition, etc. If we put her in another year of Pre-K she would be bored. She is really looking forward to learning Spanish, having computer class, etc.[/quote]
