[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you want to send her early, OP?[/quote]

She doesn’t want to pay for another year or childcare/ preK[/quote]

Child will be 5.  They should go to K.  Why pay for an additional year of preK when child should go to K?  She is better off paying for a private K vs. preK if MCPS will not allow child to go.[/quote]

Well, no…by the cutoff, she will not be 5 and she objectively should not be allowed to go, barring extenuating circumstances…which are not present here. [/quote]

Child will turn five within a few weeks of starting school.  Of course, she should be allowed to go.  Are you trying to justify holding back your child by telling others they need to hold back theirs?[/quote]

…? What? You’re not a very good debater. Is your argument that the cutoff is the cutoff and no one should vary from it, or the opposite? Because if the argument is that the cutoff is a hard cutoff for a reason (such that no one should redshirt a kid whose birthday is in august / only a couple weeks before the cutoff) then the inverse is true; no one should get to jump grades just because their birthday is a few weeks after the cutoff. Did you read the original post?[/quote]
