Yeah, I'm sure that's a big issue - maybe they ought to look into having an "accelerated" K class, like they have a "special needs" K class instead. I don't really know the answer regarding testing for early entrance vs accelerated/gifted K classes, etc, but it seems that the real thing to address here is not early entrance per se, but the birthday rule itself (my state - sept 1).

I am moreso excited that they are finally tackling this issue, even if it's "too late" for DS.
