[quote=Anonymous][quote]In all honesty, I am happy that you've had no problems with this issue.

Just to be clear, though, the issue is not that kids with summer birthdays are waiting a year to enter K; the problem is that my three children have been in classrooms with students who were as much as two years older. We have managed just fine by, in the early years, explaining that there was no reason to worry about competing in school because school is for learning.

But make no mistake about it: if this was not a real issue there would not be 23 pages of posts written during the summer recess! One of my DDs was asked in K, by an older-by-two-years classmate, Why are you in K. DD is too precocious by far and so had her retort ready: The real question is why are you in K. I don't like that my DD undoubtedly hurt this child's feelings but I like it even less that she was put in that position by the school.[/quote]

Empty barrels make the most noise.
The more noise the less of a real issue.
Check out our government in Washington.
Check out the Tea Baggers.
Reams of print and prose (&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 23 pages) and shrill drivel from talking heads lacking any expertise.
No real issues here; simply adult &quot;child-like&quot; entertainment for the 5 and 7 year-olds in K classes throughout the land.
