my dd is a late august born, she is doing fine a school (entering year 1) but we are in the private sector and the ambition of what she should be able to do to pass 7+ in 1 and half year time is high
we want her to be a happy, confident girl that is happy to do sport, feel she is clever and do not find difficult everything in the class. She is now biting her nails and eating her hair and she is not even 5!
We want top class education in a enviroment that understand the difficulties of her birth date. As they say ""she has potential" (I hate it as there is always a but after) and I want her to be in a school environment that allow that potential to come out
We are planning to keep her a year behind with the risk that many school will close the door and I found this inflexibility so frustrating as her birthday is only a week away from a different academic year
Anyway - I was wondering if there is anyone that feel the same. I was thinking it might be time that we as parent, take that inflexibility away
So I have a though to create a summer born academy - primary school from year 1 I think initially
Does anyone think it is a good idea?
