[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, opinions and knowledge. [b]Seems like it will be challenging to find a school[/b] but I'm optimistic. My child is excelling in Pk4 in another state (academically, socially, and behaviorally) but misses the cut off in FCPS by days. [/quote]

Yes, this is the hard part.  The part that makes it impossible.[/quote]

No, that’s not the hard part. The hard parts are:

- being mentally ready for K but not having the physical strength to complete K tasks (hand strength to cut, write, etc.)

- being 17 and heading off to college

- being 15 and all your friends are driving

The first one is a big one. OP doesn’t want a debate, but please understand K is more than just about mental capacity. My own kids read at 2; one picked up a new chapter book for the first time on her second birthday and read it aloud. The other one at 4 could add 3 and 4 digit numbers on his head; I could ask what’s 2963 + 3979 and he could give the answer. Both my kids started kindergarten on time, enjoyed it and were exactly where they should be. Sitting through lessons they already know will be okay…promise.
