[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here- thanks for all the feedback. The checklists are very helpful. DS has been able to do all of the tasks listed on the checklists since he was 3 and is mature for his age. He is bored with pre-k and is more than ready to go to kindergarten. Most of the people I talk to hold their kids back a year, so I really was just wondering how common it was. It is good to hear that not everyone redshirts. [/quote] Too bad he is bored with pre-K. Pre-k should be fun for kids--not focusing on academics. If he is bored, then they must be focusing on academics below his level instead of providing a learning environment that allows kids to thrive. Bored, to me, indicates too many worksheets, etc. Pre-K should have lots and lots of playtime. That is what kids need at that age. Learning should be directed by activities--not sit and listen. Sit and listen should be in the classroom, but it should be in short spurts.[/quote]
