[quote=Anonymous]Should we not frame this discussion around Kindergarten classes meeting/fitting the intellectual, physical, social and emotional needs of the Kindergartener rather than a discussion of the age of the child? Isn't this the primary function of Kindergarten (or any elementary school classroom) not a triage or filter around the chronological age of a child? What does age have to do with this fit? Some 5-year-old will be ready, some will not. I like the ass-backward discussion revolving around chronologic age rather than a launching pad for a great education. I'll take great teachers and classmates and a stimulating and challenging educational menu any day over a homogeneous class defined soley by chronological age in years and months, height in feet and inches, or weight in pounds and kilograms.[/quote]
