[quote=Anonymous][quote]I wish one or more elite private schools in DC would, for once and all, put children in the correct grade. When the admission committee is holding the application of a nearly 6 yr old, I wish, say, Sidwell's admission committee would have the balls to say Hey guess what? You don't belong in kindergarten. I wish that Beauvoir, for example, would put 4 year olds in preK and 5 year olds in K. The applicants whose child will turn 7 will have to apply elsewhere, in my dream scenario. [/quote]

Funny, because some might say that maybe you should take a dose of your own medicine.  And I don't mean this to be rude.  But if you are so firm in your beliefs, then why don't you avoid the private system that you don't approve of and send you children to public schools.  And if enough parents did that, then perhaps the privates would follow suit.  So while I actually agree with you, I am but an "n=1" and don't have enough confidence in my DCPS system and will thus adapt to a system that won't accpet my son until he's a bit older.  Anyway, its a free world.  If you don't really like something, vote with your feet and head in the opposite direction.  But there's obviously a reason why these schools do it the way they do it.  So I doubt they are going to change any time soon.[/quote]
