[quote=Anonymous]DS was born Oct 29th. He started K on time at 5 turning 6. I worried about this b/c I am from NYC where the cut off is Dec 31st so it felt like he was a year behind. He is actually a year behind in school than my friends son who is 2 days younger but lives in NYC. That said, I thought about trying to get him into K at 4-5. We are in Va so it is not an easy thing. In the end I decided that he will be in school for at least 15 years once he starts. Possibly another 2-4 after that and then on to a life of work, so in the grand scheme of things, what's the rush? He started K reading but so did other kids. Some with fall bdays, some with spring birthdays. Unless another year of Pre-K or day care is a big financial burden why not give DC another carefree year before school starts. [/quote]
