[quote=Anonymous]The people I know who did it had kids who missed the cut off by a week and had the support of the Preschool Teachers. I know that our Preschool Teachers were pretty honest with parents about the kids readiness for K. We had a few kids who were held by a year because they were not ready, they were struggling with the structure and schedule of Preschool, K would have been really, really hard for them. A few were October babies and the Preschool Teachers thought that another year of Preschool would have been boring for the kids, they were ready for K. Both of those kids were also bigger for their age and were starting to read. One went to private K and moved to FCPS for first grade. The other went to a Parochial school for K with the intention of moving to FCPS but the family stayed in Parochial. Both are doing just fine. The kids who were red-shirted still have a few struggles in ES. They are good kids but just on the more inattentive, immature side of things.

I don't know anyone who did this past a November birthday and the kids re still in ES so we will see how it ends up but, so far, the choice made sense. [/quote]
