[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not hold him back (kindergarten teacher here). I would get a full neuropsych work up. I'd find out where he is struggling. Sounds like he needs intensive additional schooling in the form of an extra hour of work M-Th and then a few hours on Saturday for a year or so. A tutor or two should be able to help. Look, you didn't know so try not to be too hard on yourself. This is why 4 year olds should NOT be allowed to start kindergarten, especially given how difficult kindergarten is these days. If it were up to me, I would require all kids were age 6 by December to start kindergarten. Kinder is the new first grade (or even the new second grade) and 4 year olds have no place in it, no matter how advanced they are. This is a huge mistake on the part of schools. [/quote] You've miscounted. This boy is old-for-grade, not young-for-grade.[/quote]
