what bugs me is that districts allow parents to make the decision to hold their children back without testing them first to see if changing their age appropriate placement will be best for the child, but parents who would like their child to start a year early must have their children tested to see if they qualify to change their age appropriate placement. it all just seems so backwards. what are we really valuing in a situation like this- size? age? cheating? lol.....bc it doesn't seem to be academics.
