[quote=Anonymous]My younger brother was small - like really really small, didn't grow for 2 years small - so he repeated pre-K in hopes that he would fit in better and then became the oldest in his class despite already knowing his multiplication tables at age 5 (peering over big sister's homework) and he was a PITA for the teachers. He was so bored and let it be known. By middle school, he was angry and didn't bother to do his homework anymore. My parents eventually had him skip 8th grade all together and then he happily became a decent student again and a lot less angry. I don't know what article/book you all are citing when you say delaying KG is giving your child a "gift of a year" - but what the phrase brings to mind for me is that it truly was a gift for my brother to be reunited with his age group at age 14 and I only wish he had been given that gift from the beginning.
