[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is doing you a favor. Do you really want your kid going off to HS before their 14th birthday or to college when before their 18th? Tell your kid that they just have to redo Kindergarten at the new school since those are the rules. Sure, they might be a little bored for some of their elementary years but you get an extra year of their childhood. High school has all the challenge any kid could want. signed, parent of an older kid who is grateful they are not going to college at 17[/quote] No, they aren't. I have a child like this and you are talking about a few weeks. We sent ours to private school for a few years to handle the situation however its a mistake to hold a smart kid back as MCPS isn't challenging till high school. My kid turned 14 right after HS started. No big deal. You don't get an extra year of childhood by holding them back. Your post makes zero sense. You held your child back for your needs, not theirs.[/quote]
