[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has a very early October birthday. She was in first grade in a gifted and talented school in NYC when we moved to Arlington. She was tested and was greatly above grade level, but they were very strict about the age cut off and placed her in kindergarten on the theory that, had she been in Virginia that entire school year, she would have been placed in kindergarten. So she ended up doing another three months of kindergarten, even though she had already completed K in NYC. I thought about fighting it, but decided not to. I don’t regret that decision at all. I think it’s been to her benefit to among the older kids in her class. She is now in college and there have been no negative repercussions from the decision.[/quote]
