[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I would send him for a quarter.

He may be ahead academically but there's more to kindergarten than just learning to read.  It's been at least 18 months since he was in preschool, if he went.  [/quote]

OP here and what in particular would you be concerned that he's missing?  [/quote]

I bet PP is talking about social interaction, but you addressed that in your post already, he's getting it.[/quote]

NP, but one thing to think about is simply classroom norms. That's a huge part of kindergarten. First grade teachers are usually able to assume kids already know them. Of course, they won't be able to next year.

OP I will also add that many families and kids who sent kids back into the building were surprised by how much their families benefited. It's obviously not universal, but I've seen it repeatedly.[/quote]

He's got 12 years to learn how to behave in school I think he'll be fine if he starts next year.[/quote]

Ditto. Some of the kids next fall will have had some in school time, a few days a week. So what. They will be coming off three months of summer. Teachers know there will be an adjustment next fall if all kids are in. They will all do fine. Don’t rock the boat of a good thing bc of wondering if he will adjust. He’s shown he can adjust by his behavior this year. As one poster said, sounds like you have a good sense of what will work for you your family. Go with that. Other people chiming in don’t know your situation. And your child has PLENTY of time to adjust!! Your child is lucky to have you thinking about both sides and deciding what is best for him and your family. [/quote]
