[quote=Anonymous]OP, one other thought. Our son's private pre-k recommended moving him to their Kindergarten early because he was a Sept birthday who just missed the PS cut-off by a few days. We said no because he was clearly not ready (barely knew the alphabet, struggled with the long pre-k day, annoyed other kids on the playground, etc.). They went on and on about how "gifted" he was but we knew they were wrong. Found out later they were under pressure to promote as many kids as possible because the incoming K class was really small, and my son's Pre-K class was really large. So the suggestion was all for the benefit of the program, not our kid (who went to K on time for him and still struggled a little those first few months).[/quote]
