you want to hold her back this year?  or next year?  If her birthday is a year away then I wouldn't worry about it yet because she will change so much.  I know someone in Moco who started their kid on time and then they were told by the k teacher to pull him out and out him back in preschool.  [/quote]

I don't want to hold back at all.  I want her to go at age 5.  At 3, she is reading and doing a lot of other skills and there are very few academic preschools so we will have a year of learning loss beyond what we do at home.  If a child is doing basics of reading and writing and turning 5 in September, they should be going to kindergarden as many 5 year olds barely know their alphabet.  A 11/1 cut off is reasonable to me, even a 12/31, but a 9/1 is way to early.  I would tell that K teacher, my child is age appropriate to be here and maybe she should modify her teaching style to meet the child's needs better.  We switched preschools from 2 to 3 and the difference was huge.  We went to a more academic structured program and she just thrived.[/quote]
