[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I waited to send my son to K just after he turned 6 (Aug bday) based on all the research that delaying formal school has lifelong benefits for kids' brains, including their mental health. This is a perfectly legitimate choice, allowed by our school system, and I find it odd that's it considered so offensive to some other parents. We all make what we think are the best decisions for our kids and our families, within the rules.

For those interested, here's just one of the arguments supporting later K: http://qz.com/546832/stanford-researchers-show-were-sending-many-children-to-school-way-too-early/[/quote]

So....when your child was in 2nd grade, were you complaining about how the school "just can't meet Larlo's needs" and how "he's just so much more advanced than his peers?"

If not, you're not the person this rant was aimed at. [/quote]

Of course she will be.  She just isn't there yet.  2.0 curriculum is so dumbed down a 3yr old could do the K curriculum.  NO LIE.  My child is in 1st and is doing basic math facts that she learned in preschool.  She is a late Aug birthday and I could not imagine her in K but I could easily see her in 2nd.  [/quote]
