[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also agree you should switch to public. There’s a little less privilege and probably more people who sent their kids on time bc they couldn’t afford another year of daycare. So you might get some redshirting but not be quite so much an outlier with more kids closer in age.

I think holding back kids who are fall and winter birthdays is crazy and I have no idea why any parent thought it would be a good idea. They are going to see a lot of problems with that. [/quote]

I agree. I have an early summer birthday daughter who is in this same cohort of kids who got shorted on preK in 2020 and then got mostly virtual K (which OP avoided with private). We have some issues with emotional maturity, but it feels like it’s not an impossible bridge to cross. However, my DD’s 2nd grade teacher pointed out to me that all the kids’ behavior is a bit worse than it used to be. I get the sense in my area, most of the people who could afford private left. In some ways, it’s fine and in other ways it seems to have impacted the balance of things.

I have a DD coming out of 4th grade and the lines around social groups caused some problems. I predict that this will be worse with my 2nd child’s bigger reactions to most things. I don’t think it has too much to do with the pandemic age spread, but I guess I’ll find when DD2 has to deal with it.[/quote]
