[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are being short sighted… do you really want your daughter being a 13 year old high school freshman? 17 year old college freshman? [/quote]

I was a 13 year old high school freshman and a 17 year old college freshman because my parents started me on time. It was fine, really it was. I won’t lie, I enjoyed my semester of study abroad for a lot of reasons, being able to drink legally at a bar was one of them. It kind of sucked coming back to the US and having to wait another 6 months to go out for a drink but it wasn’t that awful.

Other generic comments:

My child's day care was a pre school. The kids learned their sounds and started writing at pre school. Some kids were learning to read and do basic math. The program mixed play and learning so that the kids were ready for K but had a good time.

There are plenty of reasons to hold kids back. Parents know their kids best so why don’t we trust them to do what they think is best for their kid. I am sure that there are some who think that by holding the kid back they will benefit in sports or that other kids will look up to them because they are more mature but that is probably a smaller group then most think. I would guess that most are kids with some type of issue that the parents think needs some time or attention. [/quote]
