[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great, a "very physical" and "class clown" child who is a year older and bigger than everyone else. That is going to be awesome. [/quote] +1. His teachers will be ecstatic.[/quote] ...not to mention he'll be almost 2 years older than the kids with late summer/early fall birthdays. DD's is late August - [b]I'd be pretty pissed[/b] if she ended up starting kindergarten as a freshly minted 5yo with a 6 1/2 yo. Absurd. [/quote] Why? I don't get this attitude. I wouldn't make the choice OP is making if she is accurately representing things, but I don't care if someone else does. The older child is likely to be better at academics and perhaps sports, but who cares at this age. Maybe s/he is more of a handful in class, but certainly being older doesn't automatically mean handful and the fact is, teachers need to be able to handle that. What is your issue?[/quote]
