We didn't have kindergarten in our schools when I was that age, so I went straight to 1st grade at 6 years, 8 months, already reading fluently. It was boring.... Every day I begged my 4th grade sister to finish quickly with her school books so I could have something to read (we didn't have a library in our house like my own dc have had!) My parents-in-law, growing up in New York City, went to kindergarten! I never encountered ANYONE in my school, from 1st to 12th grade, who had gone to kindergarten!

Peace,
Nancy

I was 4, Early October Birthday... although in England we didn't have Kindergarten . I went to a pre-school... then I started school in the 'reception' class at 4. I began THAT around Easter, because my school had staggered entry, so I was 4 for quite a while

I started my son at 5 and DD is beginning some stuff now at 4 (as per request )- so lucky to homeschool and start at appropriate ages

I was 4, late Dec. birthday. At the time the cutoff was Dec. 31 (I am the 21st).

My dd was 4 and my sons have been 5. But I can tell already that my next dd, who is 3 now, will definitely be 4, we'll start next year. There seems, in my house, to be a big difference between boys and girls and when they are ready to start.
