Some Kindergarteners May Have to Wait to Attend Memphis Schools
It's the big time.
For future Memphis schools students, their first day of Kindergarten may just have to wait a bit. Legislators are considering a change in the necessary birth date a child must have in order to attend kindergarten at all Tennessee schools, including Memphis schools. Students attending Memphis schools have high standards to achieve, and starting school too early, in some cases, can actually set them back. Whether or not this is applicable, it is a fact that kids who start out the school year at Memphis schools younger than their peers (For instance, Sally's birthday is September 28, when she will turn 5. She'll still be only 4 when school starts. can have a harder time learning to "school" than others who are older and more mature.
