If kids are not ready, then the preschool and parents should have prepared them for school. I feel bad about holding my child back a year where he didn't get much out of school for a year, but I'm glad we moved him ahead a year to give him what he needs. We have worked a lot with him to get him ready and for him to be prepared. A huge part of it is parenting. [/quote]

Why do you care what others do for their own kids?

Because it impacts my child and his needs.  If my child goes into K. reading, he's basically in a holding pattern till the rest of the kids catch up.  If my child knows his basics, he's not getting much academically out of school as it is review.  If a child is held back, socially it makes it difficult, especially if the older ones, like in our situation are bored and misbehaving which constantly disrupts class time.  And, then worse, to fit in, my child initially would try to copy (we put a stop to that quickly as did the school but they cannot get the other kids behaviors under control).   This year, in 1st, my child is ready and asking for multiplication and division, but they are working on basics like telling time, which my child has known for several years.  So, the only way to meet his interests is to homeschool on top of regular school.   Most kids are ready to do more but not being given the opportunity and instead we dumb it down.[/quote]
