[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend had a child at a private preschool where they had to write a recommendation for a private kindergarten and wrote that the child wasn't ready. Then that spring they offered the child a spot in their private kindergarten class. Needless to say, she pulled all 3 of her kids out of that school. I would never hold back an April child. [b]Teachers at public who say this stuff just want an easier year for themselves[/b]. If your child has a social problem, it will be even worse if they're redshifted especially that far away from the cutoff. There are kids with special needs that have April birthdays. Your child will do fine with a little extra help.[/quote]

I can't believe how ignorant this statement is.  Where's your evidence, moron?

My daughter was in a private K class.  The work was so ridiculously easy that she practically learned nothing.  Her pre-K was harder.  She's now in public.  The K teachers at her new school are phenomenal, and no, they do NOT encourage red-shirting.  In fact, they still have snack.  They have breaks.  And they encourage kids that first week to bring in something that reminds them of home.  They've embraced the new curriculum fully and plan together to make sure the children's needs are met.

I know; my son is in K. And he WAS held back b/c he had speech delays and OT issues. And he still needs services. But most of the kids in his class were right on track and doing well.  Many are young siblings of my daughter's friends.

So this is an easy way out?

Honey Bunny, the pedagogy at privates is sorely lacking.  certification?  What a joke!  You pay for the name.

So if the asshole fits . . . [/quote]
