[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Nonetheless, "I don't want them to go to college at 17" is a foolish reason to hold back a child who is ready to go to kindergarten now. [/quote] Not necessarily. That is just one reason. This family had experience with it already and has made a decision based on their own preferences. Have you had a high school kid? I cannot imagine sending a kid all the way through school a year ahead of time and then telling him that he has to stay back because he is not old enough. There are lots and lots of reasons it is not a good idea to send a child who is on the cusp. It depends on the kid.[/quote] Why can't you imagine that? That's exactly what my parents did with me. It was great![/quote] this thread is full of personal anecdotes. and that's great. but the bottom line is that every family is going to do what they are going to do. somehow I think all the kids will survive.[/quote]
