[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t be serious. They can’t give a reason you should hold your daughter back — behavioral, academic readiness, social, emotional — because there isn’t one! They want money from you for another year. That’s it. I definitely would not red shirt and I’d frankly be ticked off that her school cares more about making money off of you than your daughter’s academic growth. Gross. [/quote]

OP here. My husband feels the way you feel. I was surprised, but can be swayed either way. However, I am beyond annoyed/frustrated and it is changing my outlook on the school.[/quote]

I think you guys both have the right to feel annoyed and frustrated. Clearly, the pre-K program wants you to have your child repeat a grade because they want money. They don’t want to spend the time or resources to recruit or invest in a new students if they don’t have to. However, this is an enormous disservice to your child, and any other classmates, and their families who are being told to hold their kids back when there is no reason for holding them back.  Your child is ready for kindergarten, her school does not have the best intentions of its students at heart, and you are being swindled. Plain and simple. [/quote]

OP said one year of PK in private and one in public. Where's the swindle? She's doing the same amount of years at the private school either way.[/quote]
