[quote=Anonymous]My child is not in AAP level grades but in grade 1. We had an opportunity to push her into the previous school year as she is October born but we decided against it. When she went to the kindergarten , we were thinking she would be one of the oldest in class but guess what... she is 9th in her order of age in the class room. There were a few kids who were early September borns in the clas room. We spoke to many many parents, doctors, child psychologists etc and MOST if not all of them HIGHLy recommended not to push the kid. They said in FCPS, there are many opportunities for kids to excel academically with AAP classes in elementary grades, AP, honours classes in middle and high schools etc at the time when the kids are really ready on their own and asked us not to compare kids abilities at k and 1 grade levels to assess their capabilities. We ourselves chose not to put her in first grade but in K as we felt she has some growth potential in social skills. [/quote]
