I am glad you have a good plan and are feeling better. You are definately making me think. We have signed DD 4 up for kindergarten next year rather than the transitional K (i.e. preK) that she should be in for her age. She just barely misses the cut off so we hoped she would be fine. I realize as I am reading your post that your kindergarten sounds far different than the kindergarten that my older DD attended that did not meet her needs. The kindergarten that I am putting DD 4 into is actually at a gifted school and I suspect will be quite different but we really made the decision by thinking about DD8's experiences. We don't have testing done yet either and I wish we did as it might make me feel more secure in this decision. Oh well, hopefully we make it through the year and can always repeat if needed. I just want it to be a year that she enjoys.
