[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is transitional K?[/quote]

A way for privates to soak parents for another year of tuition. They'll say a kid isn't ready for K, but there's a TK program The kid could do, and then move to K next year. The reality is a school may have 40 K seats, but TK has 30 seats. Those 30 TKers move to K, so really there's only 10 K seats available. So parents will accept a TK seat to get their kid into the school. Basically, the school forces redshirting on the majority of their families.[/quote]

People paying for private education aren't looking for ways to avoid school.
They can apply to college from 11the grade if they think their kid doesn't need 13 years of school. [/quote]

This is among the dumbest things I've read on this site recently.

If you want to pay extra for your kid to spend a year in "transitional K" so he can start kindergarten at 6 still not knowing how to write the letters 1-10 then knock yourself out. It is however a waste of money because look -- the year of transitional K didn't actually prepare OP's kid for K as well as most PK4 programs do.

OP is being swindled.[/quote]
