Depends on your birthday. Kids will start 1st grade at 6 0r 7. So that means Kindergarten at 5 or 6. Pre-school at 4 or 5. Depending on if you choose to do pre-school or not.

I think my mom did only to get a break from us kids.

At least, that's the way it was when I started school. Was in North Idaho, but must was the same between Spokane and Post Falls.

Only if she was a genius and child prodigy. And usually they start school at the same time as everyone else and then just get advanced really fast. And how often do you run into that?

To be that far ahead that early is highly unlikely.

Dude sounds like he's feeding ya a line. I lived in WA for 30 yrs., (until last summer)...all 4 of my kids were 5 yrs. old when they started kindergarten.

I would think - if it were true - that it would have been in the news. Ask him if he has articles about her to share.

Don't worry. I am playing 20 questions. If dude is a scammer, I will sniff him out!


He is defensive that I am questioning that she is in 2nd grade.

Yep! he got really upset when i called him on it! Most definately a scammer. He is on BOM. So if anyone that is also on BOM wants his info I will give it to you by email.
