[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids develop at different rates. It is good to have some flexibility in when kids start school because those different development rates mean that some kids are ready and some are not.

Kids born on the exact same day may exhibit a wide range of readiness. We want all kids to be successful in school, so it is smart to look at each individual child to determine when they should start school.

I might be able to get on board with this if the school or someone impartial was deciding. [/quote]

Parents already get a lot of input from preschool teachers, doctors, and teachers at the K school to help in making a good decision for their own children.

We live in a country that values individual determination in choices about education. The ultimate decision about where to send kids to school and when to send them, within certain limits, is up to the parents.

Right I don’t think they’re thinking about young for the grade kids whose parents can’t afford to redshirt for example [/quote]
