[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First Rule of Good Parenting: don't skew things to your kid's advantage[/quote]

Why is giving your kid an advantage not good parenting? [/quote]

Having your 8 year old think they are so smart because they are competing against 6-7 year olds is not great parenting. [/quote]

I've never understood why an 8-year-old 2nd grader reading at a 3rd grade level is more impressive than an 8-year-old 3rd grader reading at a 3rd grade level.[/quote]

The fact that you have thought about this at all is pretty sad.  And I don't think there are many kids who are 8 in second grade....  [/quote]

What in the world? My DD is turning 8 in late Sept, in 2nd grade. She will be 8 all year long in a place where the cut off is 9/1. What age do you think kids are in 2nd grade? But I agree with your point that age/reading level is sad. Is this something people are even talking about anywhere? I usually only here it when braggy parents talk about their 3-4 year olds and how advanced they think they are because they can decode.[/quote]
