Should all kids in kindergarten be 5?  All 1st graders be 6?
Belief in matching age with grade is based on an outdated assumption that children’s development proceeds automatically with the passage of time. But in deciding when a child enters school, age is not the critical factor. Current research indicates that readiness requires appropriate stimulation and guidance. Thoughtful article and good comments.
