Its ridiculous with every state being different. I am talking about Kinder, 3 days a week it is. Then I guess they go on to grade 1 the year after?
Whoever asked how big he is (sorry, forgotten who it was) he's quite tall for his age, so I don't think he will look like he doesn't belong there.
Interesting about the theory about starting boys later though. My main concern is that I won't be able to create enough stimulation for him and he'll get bored. We already do mathematics workbooks together which he really likes, but I hate doing that kind of thing in case I'm doing it wrong cos obviously I'm not a teacher.
If he doesn't make it in, its not a problem - its not like I'm begging him to be accepted - if he's not ready, he's not ready. no biggie. My cousin is homeschooling her kids though (she is a teacher) so I think I might see if she will take him for a couple of hours a week or something, just so he is doing something with that sponge in his head!! lol
Thanks guys, everyone has raised really good points
ETA: Just got a reply back from his daycare people "we feel it is a great idea for him to try to get early start. He joins in well with children in group settings & is very advanced with his cognitive & motor skills."
