[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it works in the early years so less summer kids admitted to top schools, less deemed gifted because they advanced for 5 or 6 but not for 7. Too many people doing it, it as become a problem. In my kids preschool at the end of the year, he was turning 4 while a peer was turning 6. [/quote] I too am frustrated by it. My DS is at beauvoir and has classmates 1 1/2 years+ older than him. Especially the boys. I can't figure out if the school is encouraging it or not. Or if they think it makes them more ready to sit still, read, etc... It makes me uncomfortable that there are kids so much bigger and older than him in his class. And I think, at times, it's intimidating to the younger (age/grade appropriate) kids. Mothers have been telling me the pre-k/k classes this year will continue the trend. [/quote]
