Xander will start kinder in 2008, when he is 4.5 year old. i feel that he will be ready. If he was born 1 day earlier, he would be going next year. This annoys me sometimes, as my nephew is 2 months younger than Xander, and although he is bigger, he is just a bully, and his social skills leave alot to be desired. Whereas Xander is a happy, social child, who i feel would thrive in that sort of environment. HE does really well in day care and playgroup. I wanted to get someone from the edu dpt to come see Xander, but they wont send anyone out. He can count to about 40, write his name, read some books... whereas my nephew cant do any of that. I feel xander will just feel like he is being held back for the sake of some children who arent ready. There should be testing for each and every child, to determine when they are ready.

And im not meaning to start a debate or anything, this has just been on my mind for a while. thanks
