[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say problems, but concerns. I don't understand why it happens. If a child was not ready for entrance at their grade the first year, why are they entering that same grade the following year. I do see differences in maturity among these boys. It makes the ones who struggle to sit still as young boys (although Beauvoir a great place, not always sympathetic to) stand out even more. And as a mother of young children, I don't know what if any the repercussions of these age spans will be. Guess we can only keep an eye on the situation.  [/quote]

Thanks.  That's helpful.  Our summer birthday DS was "ready" the year before he started, and we thought a fair amount about whether to apply to pre-K then.  In the end, it was a preference of ours that he start later given what we understood from others at the school was the current age range in classes.  As far as I can tell, it's been a good placement for him.  We've heard positive feedback from teachers about his relationships within the class, in that he's a good friend, focused, somewhat introverted, and kind.  I'm hoping that this isn't causing concerns among other parents and kids.  [/quote]
