My daughter is in the same boat at a similar school. She has a summer birthday, and we decided to put her forward - a very difficult decision. Academically and athletically, she is running circles around the older kids, and I don't think that they will ever catch up with HER. But they can be intimidating. They're big, they've done nursery twice, they know all the tricks, and they are often more sophisticated than her (and not in a good way).

I'm thinking of pulling her out of her private school after this year. Either she will repeat kindergarten at another private, or we will move to a suburb with excellent public schools. She'll still be one of the youngest kids in her class, but at least she won't be a full 1 1/2 year younger than them.

It's frustrating. I don't think that all of these kids seem to be catching up, even with the gift of an extra year. And it hurts the other kids.
