[quote=Anonymous]I have a September birthday DD who was accepted for early entrance into Kindergarten and we didn't do it.  She was entirely ready and reading at a second grade level.  We decided to go with the "normal" recommendations of admission and not push her a year early.  I regret it.  The curriculum is not robust at all.  She has been getting great grades and is socially happy, so I guess it's okay and not the end of the world. She is small even though she is one of the oldest in her class so the extra year did nothing for her size.

I also have a July DS who we decided to send on time.  He is small for his grade and does get teased about it, but that's okay.  It's part of growing up.  He also gets great grades and is strong academically and socially.  I am happy we didn't redshirt him.

From what everyone has told me the payoff will come in middle school and high school.  We are not there yet, so I can't comment on that.

So I've had both experiences (one oldest, one youngest) in elementary school.  For elementary, I'd vote to send her on time.  Who knows how things will work out in middle and high.[/quote]
