[quote=Anonymous]I think OP should do what she feels is right.  If her child fits in now, he will likely be fine in high school.  However, I do know people who regretted sending their kids early because of high school.  You cannot generalize the issue.  Of course, some do just fine.  I do know that I would think long and hard about it if I were in doubt.  I do have a friend whose child would have been much better off had she waited a year (as the preschool teacher--and the K teacher recommended. )  She insisted on sending him because he was very bright.  High school did not work out particularly well.  He is very bright, but very immature--good kid,not a trouble maker, just immature.  Do we know for sure?  No.  No one can ever know what "would have happened."

DH was young--and smart.  He thinks his first year of college would not have been near the struggle had he been a year older.  And,no, it was not an academic struggle.  He just thinks being 18 vs 17 when he started would have been better.[/quote]
