[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As an aside, in 1st grade, the kids know who was held back and who wasn't. They talk about how so-and-so is supposed to be in 2nd grade. My DS asked me why - how can I answer truthfully without it sounding bad? Either they had a learning disability or their parents didn't think they were ready - neither is a compliment for the child. On the other end, they know the kids who started 1st grade at only 5 years old and they say they are supposed to be in K this year. ha! [/quote] Disagree completely with above statement. Both as a first grade teacher and a parent of two kids who are grown.[/quote] It hasn't been a problem for us either. I would not let fear of first graders influence a decision that is going to have ramifications in middle school, high school, and college.[/quote]
