[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That wasn't my case. I'm 46. I was in montessori from 3-6, which meant I never attended a regular K class. I entered 1st grade at age 6. I have never heard of anyone going to K at 4. Are you a local? If not, maybe things were run differently elsewhere. I have no clue, as I've been a Marylander all of my life![/quote] I think what the poster was referring to is the practice that children started kindergarten "the year they turned 5," not that they started K universally at age four. In my sister's case, in 1981, she started K at age 4, and turned 5 in December of that year. This was in MCPS, actually. I think we also saw many more K retentions back in the 70s-80s, probably with kids who would be red-shirted today. The current K cut-off is Sept. 1--I'm pretty sure "way back when" it was Dec. 31. [/quote] yes, in MCPS I started K at 4 and then turned 5 - in december, like your sister.[/quote]
