parents: skipping kindergarten

[RACER X]

so we signed up april for kindergarten this week.

we;ve been talking to alot of parents and many are dissatisfied w/ the level of education provided in most schools. we are in 1 of the best dist. in the country, but the reality is any-kid can sign up for K no matter there level of education and they are all lumped into the same class. i know of kids starting next yr, that can't spell their names let alone write it out. so you have kids who can read and kids who can't write the alphabet, so who's gonna get the most attention? while the top of the class gets bored.

april is reading and doing spelling, heck she spelled orang (missed the e) at lunch time today by herself.

we've been told you can take a test and place outta K and got straight to 1st grade. has anybody done that?

if she passes this test, we can decide whether she stays in K or goes to first, and also it opens up doors for AP classes.

anybody have their kids skip K ?
