[quote=Anonymous]I have a September bday kid. When we had my child in preschool, the teacher proclaimed with a great deal of attitude that there is no way that she would recommend my child to start K at 5yrs old. Her biggest complaint was not academic abilities, or following the rules, or social behavior. It was that my child wasn't compliant with her orders. We moved for work and she started K in Fairfax at 5yrs old. My child still isn't always compliant, but doing fine otherwise. Its annoying behavior, but nothing worth sending her to the principal's office. Its a part of who she is as a person. Every teacher wants the easy kid. I get that. But is the only answer for kids like mine to have them wait a year? They don't qualify for services. If it were up to most teachers, kids like mine would end being stuck with the much younger kids and not being challenged, which leads to idle hands, and that's never a good thing.[/quote]
