[quote=Anonymous]My kid was a (new family) PreK admit at a Big 3 -- now in MS. I've seen sibs, legacies, donors, and kids from new families admitted to PreK and K with spring or summer bdays that would usually put them in the next grade. Basically they're compelling candidates for whatever other reasons but the school and parents have agreed that the best placement is in the earlier grade. It's a PreK-12 school, so that seems like a sensible perspective to me. As I said before, I haven't seen a kid suffer (or have a negative impact on classmates) as a result of being older. I have seen a kid suffer (and be a problem) as the result of the parents decision not to wait a year. Great kid, but he's struggled -- and been a trial -- in ways he needn't have. [/quote]
