[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you will have to switch to another private school to remedy this.  My DD is a late summer birthday and we started her in K just after she turned six at a private school.  She was academically advanced (had been reading for several years by then) and within a few weeks they recommended that she move up to first.  They said they never recommended that but thought it was right for her.  So we did it. Six years later we are now trying to remedy this by moving her to another private school to repeat sixth grade.  Academically she's still fine but she's very immature in some ways.  Also struggles with organization which is increasingly important in middle school.   Pandemic disruptions were also not helpful.  I have a summer birthday son who will be doing PK twice (at different schools) so that we're not dealing with the same issue with him down the line.   I expect that he will be bored academically for the first few years, but that's preferable to a struggling tween, believe me.[/quote]

At six years old it was perfectly acceptable to be in first grade.  A summer birthday is not unusual at all.   You’re making excuses for your child having to repeat a grade.   [/quote]
