Stigma you’re hysterical. No such thing happens.

You keep believing that if it makes you feel better.

DP. My not-redshirted kid knows many redshirted kids. He is a rising senior in high school. When does this stigma kick in, crazy lady? It definitely hasn’t yet, but be sure to tell me so I can share with him and he can tell his friends that the DCUMs resident crazy anti-redshirter says they all need to start looking for the stigma.

The insane thing about these threads is that if I had a K kid on the fence and I watched the nutty DCUM anti-redshirters, I would definitely lean towards redshirting because I would not want to be anything like those lunatics.

Sorry to your kid that you are his/her parent.
Very thing of yourself that you are all of the names that you’ve called posters. You are in fact, “crazy,” “nutty,” and a “lunatic.”

No- redshirters and non redshirted don’t want to be like you also.

Turned out okay, though.

You probably would have done the same thing a year older as you were just an irresponsible kid.

Hard to say "would have" when we don't have a time machine. All I know was I did better the next year for sure.

Everyone would.

That is correct that redshirting in not allowed in New York. Rightfully so.

Only in public schools and even then it’s not as strict as you make out. Also, when the rest of the country allows it and NY doesn’t, maybe NY is wrong. God knows they are hardly a paradigm of exceptional education in other respects.

Allowing redshirting is a paradigm of exceptional education?

Yes.

God knows it sure is not the NYC public school system.

Because red-shirting every child is the way. Okay, you.
In your case, it may be justified to red-shirt you.

NP. Why do you care if other people choose to redshirt THEIR children? I don’t understand why the anti redshirting people feel so strongly about other parents’ choices. My DD was born in October, but were she born in august or September ai might have redshirted her. Either way, I don’t care what other people choose to do for THEIR kids. What is it to you? Does it put your child at a disadvantage? I don’t see the pro redshirting people care at all about parents that choose to send their kids on time… bizarre

You are so dense. Of course the pro redshirters “don’t care” that others send their kids on time. (They do care) That’s the point of redshirting, to not send kid on time which is what they do and want others to send in time. Otherwise, they would lose their “advantage.”

So you are jealous. I get it. You should redshirt your child if you think he/she is at such a disadvantage. Nobody else here is in a competition with you and is just thinking about what is best for their child. They will not send their kids on time because you bully them or because it is a disadvantage to your kid. Just stop

Jealous that your child is delayed and needs to be held back? I don’t think anyone would be jealous if that. You are in a competition, that’s the point of redshirting.

Apart from insulting children, what is the purpose of your rant? Are you trying to convince people not to redshirt? You know that’s not going to happen, right?

Nice try, but no. There is literally years of craziness on DCUM from the anti-redshirters, so much so that “crazy anti-redshirter” is a DCUM trope. Natural law lady, first grade carnival lady, Arlington mom, the list goes on and on. It’s really quite something.

And I didn’t redshirt so don’t come back with your typical tired responses.

My child is not delayed and excelling in everything. Apart from that, I want my child to be happy, have friends, etc. I don’t want him to be the best and anything, but I want him to be happy. I feel bad for your kids since you clearly don’t want the same for them.

DP. No, you lunatic. The point of redshirting - and school - is education, not competition. And I’m always going to make educational decisions for my child based on what I think will help him learn best.

Education is not a cage match.

And no matter how hard you jeer about redshirted kids being “slow” or lie that there’s a “stigma” (so far, 8 years in, we have experienced zero “stigma”) you can’t stop parents from making the choice they think is best for their kids. You’d better learn to deal with that, because you’re not coping well.

Honey, your child is delayed which is why you are a redshirt advocate. I don’t need to redshirt my child in order to be happy. Plenty of non redshirted children are happy. I feel bad for your kid in all ways.

Far-reaching. Not all competitions are “cage matches,” lunatic.
You’d better learn to steal with a lot, because you’re not coping well and won’t be able to redshirt your child into their adulthood and beyond. Bless your heart if your child can handle college and career.

Are there that many parents on here who have children with severe learning disabilities that require them to delay starting on time?
