[quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that a year of review can't hurt. Even if he did learn some of the material last year, he probably doesn't remember ALL of it. And kindergarten is the foundation for all other grades, so if he leaves the year knowing the stuff cold, he is in good shape. Plus, children don't know to be bored in kindergarten; the curriculum is full of manipulative-based activity which can easily be modified at this age to accommodate advanced learners, and any teacher worth her salt knows how to do this. This is a good time for him to develop friendships and further his social skills, and perhaps being a bit older could promote a sense of leadership that he may not get in first grade. Trust me, I worked in a K class a few years ago and taught 4th grade math most recently, and K is waaaay more exciting, probably the most "fun" grade I have taught. Don't push him to grow up too fast; let him enjoy this neat year. It's all business after this.[/quote]
