Question for the parents or any teachers/child cares in the group: Tinyest turned 2 last month and had his MCH nurse appointment. they asked us to think about school.
Sketchy maths and schooling questions
Since he will be 5 in April 2028 he could start school then. if so we'd want to do 3 year old and 4 year old kinder starting next year. But we can delay him, start in '29 instead, just because he would be VERY young.Not sure whats "best" here. If school is 13 years (assuming no repeats) if he starts in '28 he'd be 18 when he is in year 12? Or in '29 he'd be 19 in year 12, therefore 18 in year 11... Lots of responsibility in the decision making here (especially for someone who still thinks a goat says "baaa"). And I just dont think I've got enough data to make an informed choice.
I can't give any advice but he'll be very popular being 18 in year 11.
