[quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine has a K boy with an August bday and she recently told me he's having a lot of trouble and she may have to have him repeat K. He had been in highly regarded, 3-day-a-week preK program in Bethesda and knew his letters but not his letter sounds and did not know how to write more than his name. My friend thought her son would be okay given that many people told her that it's normal for entering kindergarteners to be in this stage of pre-reading/writing. Well it apparently wasn't normal at his school and she said she got called in a few weeks into the school year by the teacher who told her her son was really far behind. The situation has been terrible for her son's self-esteem. I'm not saying you should hold back your son, OP, but that it might be helpful to look at the demographics/abilities of the K students in your home school before making a decision. It really varies a great deal in MCPS. [/quote]
