[quote=Anonymous]If they're close friends, try to learn a little more.  Ask them about what curriculum they're using, how much time they spend on different activities, etc.  It's possible that a) they're child has learning difficulties, b) they're not aware of what they're kids should be capable of at this time, or c) that you're seeing differences based on the different educational methods your children are receiving vs theirs(e.g. your 1st grader is learning "new math" and they're 8 year old is learning a traditional approach making your child's homework difficult for them to understand).  Also, there are some educational philosophies that don't begin teaching reading until 1st grade and some children who are not developmentally ready to learn to read until closer to age 7, so their 1st grader may not be as far behind as you think.

Basically, try not to rush to judgement until you've talked to them and have a better idea of what is going on.  Then, you can more directly address your concerns with them.[/quote]
