[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would use free prek3 and prek4 and then repeat prek4 if needed at a private school. [/quote]

And then stay in private?  Because if you send your first grade age kid to the school they won't put them in Kindergarten.

The most absurd version of this I've seen is a family that moved from another state with a kid with a late September birthday.  In their previous state the cut off was. Sept. 1, so he hadn't been to Kindergarten.  He also hadn't had much of any preschool, because he had severe ADHD and was kicked out of every school he tried.

DCPS forced him into first grade, and then refused to evaluate for an IEP, based on the fact that they claimed his mother had "neglected" him by not sending him to Kindergarten the year before.  [/quote]

This is abuse. By DCPS.[/quote]

It was not DCPS as a whole but the school. My school would never do this. As long as the child would not be turning 7 in the school year they’d be put in K. [/quote]

Maybe before but recently DCPS has repeatedly and publicly stated that this is forbidden district wide.[/quote]

Except what they say and what schools actually do can be vastly different. [/quote]
