[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the upside to graduating HS at nearly 19? Not everyone is athletic, so spare me that argument. [/quote] I’ll tell you why I did it. My kid has a July birthday and has autism. He only started speaking at age 4 and was very behind his peers socially and academically. The extra year in preschool was fundamental in learning better social skills and even gaining confidence to advocate for himself in doing things like raise his hand to ask to go to the bathroom. He has currently has friends in school and thrived when we sent him to K despite struggling with overly rigid thinking in the beginning of the school year. He would have been melting down every day if we had sent him on time. Sometimes kids really do need a chance to mature a little bit. Don’t be so judgmental. [/quote]
