[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K teacher here. i had two or three 7 year olds in my K class last year[/quote]

Did their age benefit them academically or behaviorally?  Or was it a detriment?[/quote]

I am more curious about how having kids who should be second grade in kindergarten impacted the five year olds who were correctly placed according to their ages.

Here is why all 5 year olds, barring a recommendation or diagnosis from a doctor should be required to attend school.

"In early childhood classrooms, where a month or two age difference can make a big difference, teachers perceive the youngest children in the class as having more attention struggles, and behavioral struggles, than the older children, irrespective of the child’s actual age.”
