I agree 100%! [b]When the “too old for the grade kid” is a high flyer, they think of course he is doing well-because he should be in the next grade![/b] Nothing to admire there and it robs the top old kid of a real sense of accomplishment.  [/quote]

A fourth-grader who started kindergarten "on time" has spent four years in school. In contrast, a fourth-grader who started kindergarten one year later than "on time" has spent four years in school. Whereas a fourth-grader who started kindergarten one year earlier than"on time" has spent four years in school.

In other words, all fourth-graders (except those who repeated a grade) have spent exactly the same amount of time in school, regardless of their age. So unless you think that a 10-year-old fourth-grader by definition has more academic knowledge than an 9-year-old fourth grader, it's irrelevant. [/quote]

Well that makes perfect sense! Why go beyond preschool at all, really, when its just about years enrolled by your argument.[/quote]
