[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What's the motivation?[/b] My DD has an October birthday and started as scheduled so she turned 6 a month after starting kindergarten. She's graduating from HS next month. It was never an issue that she's on the older end. FWIW she doesn't do sports. One place being older was valuable was that she was a bit slow to pick up reading. Got there eventually, late 1st grade when she was 7.5. We'd have been a lot more concerned if she'd been going into 2nd grade struggling with reading and likely would have felt the need to do a ton of intervention vs. as it was, just sticking with daily reading and reinforcing phonics until it stuck. We have learned over time that she is not one to be rushed, she comes to things in her own time.[/quote] Also, my question. [/quote]
