[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why you would want to.  It isn’t a rush to finish k-12.  Better for her be the smartest in the class than middle of the pack[/quote]

+1. This isn't a race. With everyone redshirting, she would be significantly younger. Lots of kids are "bored" in MCPS academically whether they start early, late, or are on time. She will be fine.[/quote]

Depending on the school, not a lot of kids are held back a year by their parents.  Being younger is not always a bad thing.  Kids are adults at 18.  Holding them back to keep them a child a year longer when their peers are going ahead to college makes no sense.  [/quote]

She isn’t being held back.  What is so hard to understand about this.  Her birthday is AFTER the cut off.  Someone’s birthday is always going to be close to cut off.  It is what it is.  But in the long run, it is always better to not appeal to send early.  Supplement at home if needed, but maturity going into college is a good thing [/quote]
