[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] +1, I'd prefer not to have the age span but I'm not holding my kid back because you choose to hold yours back. Expecting maturity in a 4-5-6 year old is absurd.[/quote] Yup. I sent my kids on time (all boys, all late summer birthdays), and I'm glad I did. I do like OP's plan for a play-based kindergarten year; I'm concerned by how many schools have shifted to developmentally inappropriate expectations, especially in the early grades. It was getting pretty bad when my youngest started K, although we were lucky to get a teacher who pushed back against those expectations, and I assume it's even worse now, nearly a decade later. [/quote] Kids learning to read, write and do basic math at age five is developmentally appropriate.[/quote]
