[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 year olds (and 4.9 year olds) are mature enough to start kindergarten, it is only when 6 year olds join KG, water gets muddied! I support the hard cut-off rule. I think the baseline for maturity is getting skewed big time by older children in kindergarten. Parents who want to cheat will find a way to cheat and it is getting out of hand.[/quote] Only poor ones though. Private schools do not think “4.9” year olds are mature enough for kindergarten. Amazing what poverty does to make children ready to learn right?!?[/quote] It's also easier to reduce the number of ND kids in your student population if you're enrolling at age 6. [/quote] I never thought of this, but it’s so true. 5 seems to the age many kids start to get diagnosed with adhd, autism, etc. [/quote]
