she probably muttered "later nerd" and then scampered offMy kid didn't even say goodbye to me when I dropped her off the first time. They took her temp at the door and boom, she was off. She didn't even care that I was standing there wanting a goodbye.![]()
Lil mac is 21 mo.Your kids are closer to 2?
Mine is 16 months and it's tear factory every time we pull into the parking lot.
Mine is 26 months. So yeah. Closer to two. But even when she was younger she wanted nothing to do with me when I dropped her off. It'd be a "gtfo, dad. I wanna go play!"Your kids are closer to 2?

I believe I posted when we were gearing up to sending her back, she was bored out of her mind with my wife and I, so you're probably not wrong.she probably muttered "later nerd" and then scampered offMy kid didn't even say goodbye to me when I dropped her off the first time.

Nice! mine has a balance bike and he absolutely loves it and is pretty good on it. Makes so much sense to learn the hard part first and then add pedaling. Hard to believe those weren't really a thing until recentlyWell I am so proud of my oldest son (he’s 6) right now. He just rode his bike without training wheels or help for the first time. We tried the traditional me holding the seat and him pedaling for something like a month and it wasn’t happening. He was frustrated and so was I. A quick search showed the method of removing the pedals and training wheels and having him use it as a balance bike. 4 days was all it took. He was balancing so well, coasting long distances, and able to make turns without putting his feet down. Put the pedals back on and boom. Due to him being able to balance and coast at slow speeds he was able to put it all together. So damn proud of him.
One thing that is not much of a factor, but something I do agree is worth considering. She'll be starting from scratch with friends either way, as most of the other kids in daycare will be in other elementaries within the district and those in our school building will be split between kindergarten and first grade.Will her current friends, which I'm assuming is a good bit of daycare, be in kindergarten next year?
Yes, it should. The easiest argument to the District is, this has nothing to do with her testing, its a simple matter of she passed kindergarten somewhere else, so she should be in first grade. If we were coming from a neighboring district that has a later age cutoff, they wouldn't think twice about her going into 1st. Granted, this is more than the week or two that would be the difference in a case like that, but it should be a pretty straight ahead position that she should be starting in 1st grade.Taking the social aspect out of the equation makes it a little easier, albeit extremely tough, decision.
I don't have a kid this age so I might be suggesting something stupid, but have you asked her if she has a preference? I don't know if she'd understand, but worth a shot.
Does their accredited kindergarten carry any weight when going out to the district?
