[quote=Anonymous]Don't forget that in England everyone starts primary school at age 4, in uniforms. And, assuming they do 2 years of A levels, enter university at age 17. In Asia, children start FT school at age 4 as well. Here in America, every state (or county??!) has different age cutoffs and it's ridiculous. We fall 2 days inside the cutoff date so are looking at having our daughter sit around bored for age 5 or paying for private school for 2 years and then coming back in to the public system and not missing a beat. It's a lot of money in addition to property taxes (which pay public schools). Sadly the "tests" you can take for your 4 year 11 month old to start are driven mainly by school capacity issues, not test scores and recommendation[/quote]
