She doesn't get practice makes perfect and it is hard for her.
I'm not sure that practice does make perfect if the task isn't in one's 'readiness to learn' level.
It seems fairly harmless to try kindy if the child wants to 'learn the hard way' as long as you have alternatives if they are needed.
In a way, the younger the student population, the more comfortable the teachers tend to be with kids being at wildly different readiness levels. Preschool teachers are often the best, with Kindy teachers a close second. This is one of those instances where 'the best' might be awful, but it's less awful than those years after 3rd grade where the expectation is that the kids will 'all even out.'
It's at least exciting that the teachers have the option of advancing a child after half a year - that's quite unusual and perhaps a good sign.
I don't think that schools test for ADHD, and there is a limit to how much pressure they can try to apply to the parents. Do you think you'll be vulnerable to their arm-twisting? Have you heard stories of local families getting undue pressure?
Love and More Love,
