We did it to save money. Private school starts at 10K where I live. The stress public school has caused us has not been worth the savings. Huge huge huge mistake and it won't happen again. Just trying to get through the rest of the year.
The reason that he started K instead of first is that everyone that I spoke with (school district, vice princicpal...) was very upset at the insinuation that DS6 is smart. The vp responded with "all the kids here are smart." I tried to talk to a few other moms about my dilemma and encountered rage in response. Even my family members have reacted angrily. My older cousin said, "I think he's smart but not that smart." She played a game with him that he had never seen along with her two kids who are both older. He creamed everyone. She told me, "He's played this before." I said, "No, he hasn't. Honey, have you played this before?" He said, "No." She said, "Yes he has, I can tell." Her husband sarcastically told me, "Everyone's kid is smart...everyone's kid is good looking, aren't they?"
This is certainly one way to find out who your friends are!
