[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're very thoughtful, OP. We actually sent through something similar with our DD last year. We were in a Montessori and moved her to a play-based school where she would have 0 academics. Seriously, most of the kids barely knew the alphabet at age 5 and that was just fine. This is a school located in one of the highest income parts of the DC metro area and most of the parents are highly educated so no one really needed to know the alphabet at that age and it's clear they will all do just fine in K.
 
She's still a driven kid (it's just her nature) but that year in a play-based program REALLY made her stop and think about other things like[b] art and beauty and kindness, being socially responsible. [/b]Things you can't really measure or rank. It is the best decision we ever made.

I'm not saying you should hold your child back if she's that advanced but it was really a happy year for our DD.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am optimistic for the school year ahead. The statement above really resonates with my values about raising a child with these values.[/quote]
