Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Hi Gail. I guess I would argue that " age appropriate " is not what matters! The class that is most " developmentally appropriate " is what should be considered. is 5, and I've already thought that I would keep her in preschool for another year. I'm planning on arguing that won't have many years to feel successful at doing what her classmates are doing. Why not let her have at least a year or two of that success before we stick her in with regular first and second graders, at which time she will know she's different because she won't be able to do everything they can do. I'm glad my district seems to like my ideas. Thinking of you.... > Margaret, > Glad things worked out for you schooling Gareth. There is no problem with > keeping Seth home until he's 7.
