<<At a parent-teacher conference we were told that we were "over educating" our son.>>

I have never even heard of that phrase. How is that even possible? This was a quote from a teacher? It's scary to think a person with an education would be saying your child knows too much.

I don't even know what my reaction would be.

<OT> I know this isn't the proper forum, but there are many parents here, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. Last night, my wife and I were discussing when our 18-month old would start Kindergarten. I looked up the district's web page today and it states the child must be five years old by 9/15 of the year he or she is entering K. Our daughter was born on 10/1 and will be ready for K before she's almost six. Are there usually ways to "test" your child to see if he or she can enter K a little early? This is a cause of great concern for us and we may begin looking into private schools in the area. Our daughter is in a playgroup with others her age and is more advanced and alert than the others. Even other parents make comments on how advanced he is. I'm really afraid of getting stuck in a public school system that will cause her education to be delayed a year. Not to mention that she would likely be bored. I know it's early to think about these things, but if I need to get her name on a private school list a couple years in advance, we need to be think about it.

Thanks in advance for any advice or resources you can provide to me.

Sorry for the OT post.

Jody
