[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my DC's private, one of my DC's K classmates didn't start K on time because of the pandemic (parents didn't send them to school). So that child was effectively held back a year by starting K the next year when schooling was physical again. And they have a first week of September birthday -- they turned 7 on the second day of school. My kid is so impressed by how big, strong, and "smart" that kid is. That kid is now totally the class leader, etc. because of it. I guess to some parents the illusion that their kid has leadership qualities (and the actual confidence that comes from outshining one's classmate through being older) is really worth it.[/quote] And he will reap the rewards of it. While the young for the grade kids seem like theyre always behind (with development in elem school, puberty in middle school, maturity in high school, etc) but theyre really just on time for their age. It is frustrating.[/quote]
