[quote=Anonymous]So, basically, the complaint is either about HS athletics or about PreK/K admissions. And the problem is someone else's kid got something my kid didn't and I choose to attribute that solely to the age difference. And, no the 6 year old competing for admission to K (he won't be 7 until somewhere toward the middle of the next school year) isn't inherently more mature than the 5 year olds in the applicant pools. That's why the school is considering him this year for K. If he gets in, it's because he, like the younger kids admitted, is now sufficiently mature for K whereas a year ago they (school, parents) just weren't that sure he was ready. The schools where PreK/K spots are most scarce relative to demand aren't looking to find the most mature kids. They are looking for kids that are exceptional and interesting in other ways. Maturity is more of a constraint (gotta be sufficiently mature to benefit from/contribute to the school) than a selling point. [/quote]
