[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was a (new family) As I said before, I haven't seen a kid suffer (or have a negative impact on classmates) as a result of being older. I have seen a kid suffer (and be a problem) as the result of the parents decision not to wait a year. Great kid, but he's struggled -- and been a trial -- in ways he needn't have. [/quote] Wait, so the struggling kid who should have waited a year is struggling, perhaps because the teachers need to compensate for a wide range of ages and abilities in the classroom? What if, rather than teaching K (first grade curriculum) to 7 year-olds, they actually taught K curriculum to 5 year-olds? Maybe then the bored 7 year-olds would get the picture and their parents would put them in the right place? Instead, you have the teachers catering to the older kids at the expense of the kids who are right aged. This seems ludicrous. [/quote]
