[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish one or more elite private schools in DC would, for once and all, put children in the correct grade. When the admission committee is holding the application of a nearly 6 yr old, I wish, say, Sidwell's admission committee would have the balls to say Hey guess what? You don't belong in kindergarten. I wish that Beauvoir, for example, would put 4 year olds in preK and 5 year olds in K. The applicants whose child will turn 7 will have to apply elsewhere, in my dream scenario. [/quote] why does the op think the admissions at Beauvoir and Sidwell are placing kids in wrong grades?[/quote] They want consistent classes - kids of relatively equal intellect. They don't want certain kids starting trouble because they can't sit still or can't identify letters by PK. So they try to give them an extra year to see if they can catch up. [/quote]
