[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And some people are clueless about whether or not their child is developmentally ready for all day school at the age of 3. I think these issues go hand in hand.[/quote]

Any research to back up this correlation? And if there is truth to the theory that ECE gives children an academic edge in the long run (which I don't necessarily believe but I'm guessing you do), then why should your kid have one just because they are better at peeing and pooping earlier in life?[/quote]

Purely anecdotally: My kid was the only kid in her PK3 that could read at all and one of the 20% least potty trained. (She'd been in underwear for months and had relatively infrequent accidents at home, because she got into a pattern of going at particular times + could rush to the toilet last minute; at school, she had 4 accidents in the first 3 days...). Less anecdotally: There is actually a correlation between income level and potty training age, just as there is a correlation between income level and school performance... it is exactly the opposite correlation.
