[quote=Anonymous][quote]My daughter missed the cut off by five days. We applied for EEK and were denied. Then we appealled, were accepted and my daughter has been doing very well ever since. It's such an individual decision thought and is certainly not right for every child.

My daughter is now in first grade reading at 5th grade level and is one year ahead in math. Is she a genious? No, but I can't imagine having waited another year. Socially she is fantastic, participates in class, follows directions well, makes friends easliy, etc. If anything I wish that her work was bit more challenging- it just all seems too easy for her.

Her K teacher told me that she was on the EEK committee and agreed with the initial rejection. She was quite upset that her decision was overturned by the appeals committee (and told my husband and I that on a couple of occassions). Fortunately she eventually came around and realized that my daughter belonged in K that year. [/quote]

Out of curiosity how is your child a year ahead in math since MCPS has not allowed acceleration for the past 2 years under 2.0? [/quote]
