[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid can read and knows his numbers he should be encouraged to start with a waiver / test.

If he can't do these things, work on them this year and start him next.[/quote]

That’s not an unusual skill set in K for many MoCo schools.

My DC’s birthday is midSeptember and he started on time, and many of his classmates, especially boys, are 4-6 months older than him. I recommend you don’t push your child a year early.[/quote]

It’s not pushing a year early.  It’s sad how we dumb down our boys. [/quote]

Right?  What is with this anti-boy sentiment?

My kid has an August birthday and has done very well in school (so far).  He’s in 8th grade and was in a regional CES in ES.

Boys are just as capable of doing well in school as girls.  Weird.[/quote]

Yes and no.  They are as smart. But they can be more fidgety and spending your first year in school being scolded for fidgeting can damage your lifelong relationship to yourself as a learner.  [/quote]
