Kindergarten Readiness





Who gets to decide if your child is ready for Kindergarten? l In a recent article in the SJ Mercury News, by Sharon Noguchi, the Mountain View-Whisman School District may be taking the decision out of the parent's hands.  The article states that  "... not just parents, will determine kindergarten readiness.  If a parent wants to hold back an eligible child from kindergarten, the district will evaluate whether that child should enter kindergarten the next year or go straight to first grade."  Could this be a trend?  Follow this link to read the entire article:  District to decide if kids get to enter kindergarten
