[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Kindergarten is mandatory in DC, so if your child hasn’t done it they likely will not send him to first, but definitely check with principal. For those complaining about redshirting, the admins and policy makers changed Kindergarten 10-15 years ago. That much seated time and explicit instruction is not developmentally appropriate for 4 and young 5 year olds. We have a late September child and when we toured for K I thought we were in a thrid grade classroom. [b]I am an educator [/b]so i know what it should look like. If your child is advanced maybe... for those complaining about the age gap, it’s not the older kids, it’s the curriculum/approach. www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/answer-sheet/wp/2018/04/06/in-massachusetts-a-disturbing-trend-in-kindergarten/we[/quote] Then homeschool if you don't like the rules.[/quote]
