[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with allowing kids to go early is that there are some parents who will send kids who are not yet ready but the parents want free child care. The level of the curriculum today is such that most 4 year olds will not be ready.[/quote]

Ok....I am not saying let every four year old in, BUT just like there are some five year olds whom parents decide are not ready because they have not developed to that point, there are also someone four year olds who ARE ready, but FCPS doesn't give them a chance to go...

Listen,I a m not advocating for four year olds to head to kindergarten even though both of my children could have handled it hands down, but my point is that it is an unfair rule to say those on one end of the bell curve can go next year but those on the other end cannot go this year. And if it keeps going in this direction, the "haves" won't send their kids until they are 6 and change and those who depend on the schools for child care will send very young five year olds. The range of ages will continue to widen because mom doesn't want Johnny to be the youngest boy in the class. heavens!
