My sister decided to put my nephew in pre-school this year instead of kindergarten b/c he won't be 5 until after school has started. I have asked a lot of people about this and have received answers both ways. He is used to being around other kids, he has cousins in literally every grade in one of the local Elementary schools, and his baby-sitter always had a lot of kids at her house. My sister is worried about him not having the social skills, but I just don't agree. Kindergarten is for getting used to raising your hand before speaking, learning the basics, and getting used to school. I'm afraid he will be bored in pre-school and not do well b/c of that. He already knows the alphabet, can write, can count to 100, knows his shapes(even pentagon, octagon, trapazoid, etc). Any input?
