JJsMom -- Could you expound on "We suffered through pre-K during the 08-09 school year..."? How did your ds suffer?
We suffered through it, not DS. He really didn't know much different. It was great for him socially... but that's about it. I would have to say that if anything, he lost at a chance to gain knowledge, but gained socialization skills he really didn't have prior to pre-K (and he was a daycare child since a baby!!!).
However, if I had the choice whether to have put him in pre-k or K at the time, he would've been in Kindergarten. Hands down. There's not much difference here in GA between K & pre-K anyway... sad, but true.
