Kindergarten is never boring.

It is the best grade of the entire school career.  Why would anyone want their kid to pass that year?[/quote]
Why is it so hard for some people to understand that some kids really have that drive and thirst for knowledge early on?  It's not about rushing.  Instead, it's about listening to your child and being their advocate.  How many times does a person have to say, "Each child is different."  Don't be a hater or be so quick to criticize just because you don't believe or don't relate.[/quote]

I totally relate.

I had a kid (youngest in the class though) who tested off the charts and was reading fluently when he started K.

[b]Kindergarten is about so much more than academics.  It is truly the best year of school.  Your child will not be bored.  There will always be something fun to do in kindergarten, and something to challenge each child, be it social skills, reading silently, handwriting, art projects, music class where you are learning real music, PE, eating in the cafeteria, learning a science lesson, etc.[/b]

In this area especially, smart well prepared kindergartners are a dime a dozen.

Your child will not be bored, and will not be alone.[/quote]

Completely agree! It's not about your reading level.  There is so much more to it!  My DS is early Oct and was also reading at a 6 when we had our PT conference in November.  But there were things that he could improve on - i.e., retelling stories, using punctuation.  He really enjoys the science topics - life cycles of a frog, water cycle, clouds.  He loves his teacher and he can't wait to go to school every morning.  There were also at least 4 other kids with birthdays between Sep and Dec[/quote]
