[quote=Anonymous]My son is at a private school, April birthday, went on time, and is one of the youngest boys in the entire grade of about 60 students. There are two or three younger than him. It's crazy. Lesson learned - if you want the kids to be the correct age, do not go to a school with a "junior kindergarten." Having JK as an option just encourages this practice, and the school has an incentive to fill the JK for revenue purposes, so they suggest it to parents who are otherwise expecting to go to K. It creates a weird situation for sports too - the rec leagues are by age, not grade, so the kids he plays rec sports with are in the grade behind him. His friends and classmates played travel soccer the year before him, etc. it sucks. I wish I could do it over and pick a new school and ask this question during admissions![/quote]
