Part of the issue with starting school before the suggestied age is often that the child is not ready to sit and do what is expected, regardless of their academic level. My DC would have been the same way. We recently had grade skipped DC and during one of the meetings the principal asked us why we waited to start school (for one, we weren't even close to the cut off) but DC was just not ready for that environment. The academic level, sure, but sitting quietly, and doing not such engaging things that she already knew was another thing. I would say, perhaps that if you can't get the issue resolved, don't panic. Like the others mentioned, you can "after-school" to meet the academic needs. Being in K isn't just about academics, it's about being ready for the social, the listening, the structure. It's the whole big picture. Don't worry, it will work out *even if it means pulling DC out for now and trying again later.*
