    I agree with waiting to decide. Most of my friends have boys my DS's age, & they will probably all start primary school the year after DS, even though they are only a month or 2 younger. But I haven't really made up my mind when DS will go yet.

    DD1 was ready & has done really well. She did struggle in year one & two, but that was because of the school she was at in kindy, she's doing really well now.

    I talked to DD2's preschool teacher & she said DD was ready, the only thing we were worried about was her speech. That has improved 100% since starting school last year.
    I was just talking to the school councillor about her today & she agreed that it was the right thing for her after doing an assessment on her for other reasons.
    She said as long as they are happy to go & not upset over it they should be fine. My DD hated daycare, but refuses to miss a day of school!
    She wouldn't have been able to handle another year at home... neither would I!!
