[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you ok with the other boys being 12-15 months older? Or will you be here complaining that there's such a huge age gap, your kid can't play sports and shine, and other parents are the worst for bending the rules like you are?[/quote]

This is a good point.  It may see, fine now, but it is a lot harder socially when he is 12 and his classmates are 13-14.

The anecdotes of “when I was a kid” don’t really matter anymore.  It isn’t the 1980s/90s.  School is different.  Kindergarten has vastly different expectations.  Getting into to good colleges, internships, etc. is much more competitive than it was decades ago.  I would send him on time when he is already 5, not early.  Being in the 99th percentile is a better place to be than if you start him early and he sits at the 75th percentile...or wherever.  Just an example, but point is he will have more advantages to be over prepared for schools than for being simply “ready” [/quote]

I wrote about the changes that are from 2015.  And every generation claims what you’re claiming.  [/quote]
