[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I can see the request because my child has never been in a formal environment with other kids, like preschool or daycare and things have been more lax at home. I think the school's biggest reason is to get my child to understand structure and routine. I of course want to set my child up for success and don't want them to be struggling if they were to be in 2nd grade.[/quote] Understandable, the structure and routine will not be difficult and will be overcome in no time. It’s only second grade and not like upper grades where students need to concentrate more. There is still a lot of play in second grade and your child will fall in line to what the others are doing. Homeschool children typically are more mature and you mentioned you moved quite a bit so I would be willing to bet that your child is above level and can tolerate better than older kids. [/quote]
