[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why so judgmental?  At a very early age, kids are expected to master subjects which some just aren't developmentally ready to do.  Others are ready at an earlier age.  Trying to decide what is right for the child is tricky for both the teachers and parents who know them well.  It just seems strange to have such decided opinions about kids you haven't met and could not possibly have any knowledge about.[/quote]

I'm not judgmental.     No one is expecting the children to begin reading at ages 4-5.   My most active child [who was and still is the least interested in reading] started shortly after his fourth bday.   He has read 1 book for pleasure in years - Tucker maxx.

I suppose your child is unique and special with no common denominators to any of the other redshirts I've encountered over the years.   Bottom line is any child born before  the standard end of the school year  should not have the  option.

Parents and teachers don't like splits [combo classes] which are done for budget and staffing purposes.    The RS issue forces a split on kids.  High school?   Adults as juniors.[/quote]
