[quote=Anonymous]We are in the same boat. But let me say that it is not just a DC thing. We moved away last summer (and I come back and visit these boards every so often...). In our small city, the cutoff for K in 1 sept. DS is now 3 with a September birthday. If we were in DC, he'd start K just shy of his 5th birthday. here, he'll start K just as he turns 6. We have him in private preschool, and can send him to kindergarten early if we want. but for the reasons others have mentioned, we are not going to push him ahead: 1. He's in the botom 5% for size. 2. His speech is still mushy - at 3 1/2. We've been referred to speech therapy, but for now we are just working with him at home. 3. He's shy. The decision is easy for us since if we do nothing he starts when he's 6. If we were still in DC, we would be seen as "red shirting" and all the judgements from DCUM.[/quote]
