[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former K and First teacher, if he is socially ready, I would send him.  [/quote]
+1  Didn't read the rest of this thread but the social component is the most important pre-req for K.  Not the academic.  [/quote]

If you keep your child another year in a preschool that didn't get them well prepared for K, aren't you failing that child.  If the school could not do it in 2-3 years you were there, what will an extra year do.  They can get the social part in K.[/quote]

No, it has to do with the personality of the child. I have a sensitive and extremely social girls who gets very sad when “rejected” by the older girls and is much happier around younger or same age kids. School can’t do anything about that.[/quote]

That is not a reason to hold back and holding back will not change their personality.[/quote]

Of course it is. She will gain confidence and slowly learn to behave and relate among other kids. I can’t think of a better reason to hold a child back. You don’t know what you are talking about[/quote]

She also could have learned that in K.  You don't know what you are talking about.  If she hadn't learned to behave in 2-3 years of preschool, how does a 4th year help?  It doesn't.  You might as well save the money and keep her home at that point as its just age that allows her to behave better.[/quote]

Since you don’t know the situation and have no idea what you are talking about (nor can you read obviously) you should refrain from writing. You are not very smart are you? Re-read my original post and see if you get it this time. I am very happy to spend 30k for preschool for my child because she IS learning so much and is so very happy. Fitting in with the other kids is not something anyone can teach... it will only happen with time[/quote]
