[quote=Anonymous]Years ago when my November birthday boy was 2 my husband and I could not conceive of sending him to K at age 4, although there was a test he could take to go to K early.  His preschool was very flexible and after six months in the 2 year old class, they told us they thought he would be happier in the 3 year old class, so we let them put him ahead.  To make a long story short when he found out he would not be going to K with his class he pitched a fit, insisting he should go to K. and when we spoke to the pre school they agreed. So he took the early entrance exam and passed. He was also big for his age and VERY verbal.  So with big doubts we sent him to K at age 4.  Surprinsingly he did just fine and became a classroom leader. At home he was a holy terror. As he grew up he became a very top student with amazing energy and ambition. and with him pushing us we agreed for him to apply to a highly rated, and tough academically private school. He was admitted with a big scholarship. He ended up going to a top university and is now finishing a well known law school at 24. So I would wait and make each decision as it comes. You never know what will work the best for each child.  [/quote]
