Hi I called it discrimination because it is basing educational success on a physical characteristic that the child has no choice about. AS far as the skipping I think that depends on the school and other things that I do not know much about. My older daughter has a friend who skipped K. However if my little one skips K then that deprives her of an experience. There seems also a question on if it is better to skip K or 1st. It also puts the burden on me to educate my child in the social arena necessary for first grade. Not that I am not willing to do whatever it takes it just seems points that could be used to change the district policy. I know there was a woman in VT. who was trying to change the policy but I do not know how to contact her. The woman in the office said it had to do with funding from the State.
