[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:45 - It isn't the age, it is that it is mandatory. I would like to be able to decide if my son is ready and not be regulated to do so. My son will just turn 5 and he may not be ready, so I would like the option to wait if necessary. Of course this is a year away, so it may not be an issue. Still I like to have the option. [/quote]

You do have that option. It's called redshirting. But he has to be somewhere like a private pre k program if he's not in public K at 5. He can't just be hanging out at home with a SAHP if there were one. [/quote]

You sure about that? Did the rules change? Because it used to be that kids only HAD to be enrolled somewhere when they were 6 at the start of the school year.

Anyway, Virginia has very lax homeschooling rules, so she could claim that. [/quote]

Yeah, when they're SIX they have to be enrolled. If he's still 5, she can choose to enroll him in a private pre-k and not go to K yet. How else do you think people redshirt? [/quote]
