[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you be held back - Sept 30 is the cut off - you would already be 5 in KG turning 6!![/quote]

No, I was 4 when I started K.  I didn't turn 5 until December and was 17 when I graduated.[/quote]

The age cut-off was changed back in the mid-eighties, so it has been a long time since kids turning five in December were starting K when they are still four. Also, the K curriculum has changed substantially since that time.[/quote]
Wait.  Things change?  Kids are different?  Different things work for different families?  So I can send my kid to school when the school permits and when I feel it's best?  Cool. [/quote]

Of course, you can. Everybody should do their research and do what's best for their families, knowing that there are pros and cons to any decision. It helps to hear from parents of older children who have seen how those decisions work out over the long term, especially when this is the first child the family is sending to school.[/quote]
