[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the same kid. We redshirted. It gave him another year to play before jumping into the crazy educational environment that is in the DC area. Plus I didn't love the idea of a 7-8 hour day for a five year old. It was a great decision for him. He's the oldest in his class, has lots of friends, very advanced academically, but the school is adjusting to meet his needs with pull out groups (and he is not the only advanced kid). Most importantly, he is very very happy. No crying, no miserable adjustment to K. He's exhausted everyday, but in a manageable way. He is also able to manage his emotions at school and in his social life. Plus he likes school, and so many K kids hate it. We anticipate the academics may be an issue down the line, but there is the HGC program or we may do private.[/quote] Of course he is academically advanced. He's a year older than everyone else.
