[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 year olds (and 4.9 year olds) are mature enough to start kindergarten, it is only when 6 year olds join KG, water gets muddied! I support the hard cut-off rule. I think the baseline for maturity is getting skewed big time by older children in kindergarten. Parents who want to cheat will find a way to cheat and it is getting out of hand.[/quote] Where's the cheat when "Virginia law states that parents must ensure a child attends school if he or she will be five years old on or before September 30. However, if — in your opinion as a parent — your child is not mentally, physically, or emotionally prepared to attend school, he or she may be exempted for that year. You will need to notify your local school if you do not want your child to attend kindergarten until the following year." [/quote]
