[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We soft skipped my Feb birthday son in K. I say soft skipped because the location where we are (international) has a Pre-First level where the typical US kindergarten ELA curriculum is over 2 years in Kindergarten and Pre-first but math is Kindergarten level in K and 1st grade in [b]Pre-first[/b]. My son was reading 2nd grade level and doing math at the 1st grade level going into the year so it's a better fit. He just missed the cutoff (Dec 31) so we felt comfortable with the social aspect and he's done fine, but he's a pretty outgoing/not shy kid. When we move though, I would not be comfortable with the older cohort of kids found in a school with the typical Sept 1 cutoff (plus summer redshirters) so we plan to have him "repeat" and hopefully there'll be some sort of acceleration available then.[/quote] correction, sorry[/quote]
