But isn't that just an indication that the school structure is a problem? What are you supposed to do with squirmy little 5 year old boys who are ready for 2nd grade material?? Holding them back can't be the best solution?


Yup. This was my point, too. If boys can't do what's required for school, then maybe the problem is with school!

5- and 6yo kids can learn stuff without sitting all day. So do that!
