First, our school district is crazy. Parents quite regularly hold back July and August birthdays and even some do for MAY. 6let had regular kids turning SEVEN in kindergarten.
My neighbor's son is a July. They sent him to private kindergarten last year at 5 and public kinder this year at 6. M2 turns 6 in March. The kids are in the same class with the same teacher. My neighbor keeps trying to compare the two kids and it's driving me insane. My kid has a loose tooth how about M2? He's on a two wheel bike how about her? She just sent me a message that her son leveled up in reading and then immediately asked where M2 was. I KNOW it's to compare them
I keep biting my tongue, but dude, her kid is a full 8 MONTHS older than mine and is essentially repeating kindergarten. He SHOULD be ahead of her for physical things and reading levels.
FWIW (because I'm petty) our kids are on the same reading level, learned to ride bikes within a week of each other, but mine can also tie her shoes, and do cartwheels off the balance beam. The only place she's behind is teeth. Whoppty shit.
