[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Boyd School in NOVA will let them into kindergarten if they turn 5 by December 31.[/quote] [b]Feeling sad for those kids whose parents let them do that.[/b][/quote] Don't. I have 4 kids, all born between early October and late December. 3 of the 4 were pushed forward, and 2 of those 3 then also skipped a grade. Those two are in college now, after taking a gap year and traveling to different parts of the world. Somebody will always be shortest and somebody (else) will always be tallest. My kids were very unaffected by it. "I bet when you were 15 you were this short too; it's just that you're 18 now." The only thing that bummed them out was not getting the opportunity to drive themselves to school, but their friends picked them up most of the time. Don't feel sad for those kids. They're not all wandering around completely lost with poor fine motor skills.[/quote]
