[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why is there so much snark towards the OP regarding this issue? [/b] She simply wants the option of sending her kid early just as people have the option of sending their kids later?  Why are so many posters appearing to have a problem with that?  I don't understand. Is there a reason people don't their children being in the same class with younger children who may be on the same level as their older children?

If the cut off on the last day of the month, are many of you saying that there is a big difference in preparedness of a child born 1-30 days later?

What's the issue?

I couldn't care less when people start their kids in K, younger/older/on time. I think OP is just rubbing people the wrong way. If she had phrased her question and her subsequent posts differently, there wouldn't be 12 pages of people snickering at her.[/quote]

Ok. So it's just the OP people have a problem with? [b]People are OK with parents that want to have their kids test in early DOB is close to the cut-off date.[/b] Thanks.  I really wasn't getting that part.[/quote]

I can only speak for myself, not "people", but why would anyone care if a younger, more immature child is included in the class? It does suck for the little kid in lots of ways, though, and that's what most of the anti-starting-early crowd has pointed out. It sounds like OP just has one child, and many posters on here have a lot more experience with kids at lots of different ages and how being much younger could be a disadvantage.[/quote]
