[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It is everyone business, but especially five year old boys (or active girls) who behave in an age appropriate way for five year olds. A bunch of seven year olds in a kindergarten classroom skews the expectations for behavior, and turns those kids behaving or misbehaving in age appropriate ways and learning at age appropriate paces into problem children or in need of remediation. If parents hold them out to the point they are going to turn seven during the kindergarten year (the age of many second graders) then the schools need to test them for kindergarten mastery and move them into first grade.[/quote] The argument here is: people shouldn't be allowed to make the decision they believe to be right for their kid, because it's bad for my kid. I don't think much of that argument. And no, I didn't redshirt. I sent one child on time and one child early.[/quote]
