[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. I already think it’s ridiculous that two year olds can start if they turn 3 in September. I know that’s the district cut off age but I’ve subbed in so many prek classes and the difference between those very young children and the already three year olds is pretty big. It might not matter later on in age but between late 2 and middle 3 there is a huge difference. [/quote] As a first grade teacher, trust me, it's continues to be a big deal. You can go down the data of our incoming kids and tell by how high or low they are when their birthday is. The kids who are five at the beginning of first grade are, with almost no exceptions, the lowest performers in the class, have less stamina, and have more behavior problems. The age-related maturity issue lasts well beyond pk3[/quote]
