Ok i am still having trouble deciding this. She can do everything on that list that Dach gave above except she cant say her address. She asks me every day if she can go to school yet. She pretends to do 'homework' all the time (which i think is so cute!) For their guidelines she is ready socially and academically. It's just her age! And i feel she is missing out. Do you think if i went to the local school and asked about it they might interview her and see? Or even if she did start next year and wasnt ready for year 1 she could repeat kinder, do they do that?
