[quote=Anonymous][quote]and in the long run how does it help your child to be so advanced when starting K?[/quote] What I found was most valuable was letting them pace their own learning, discover that learning is fun, and not place artificial barriers in front of them. MCPS has its own definition of what kids should and shouldn't do in each grade. Fine for them but it just doesn't develop any child interest in learning and doesn't map to kid's capabilities. MCPS doesn't introduce instrumental music until 3rd or 4th grade yet lots of kids take piano or other lessons much earlier. What's the point of allowing your child to play an instrument before some admin at MCPS deems it age appropriate? Ridiculous question right? Same goes for reading , math and science. [/quote]
