Redshirting August boy?

Glad your child is doing well!

What does it matter to you if I didn't want him to be the youngest?" It matters to me because holding back normally developing summer birthday kids puts non-redshirted kids at a disadvantage. Now, instead of being one year younger than the older peers, they are sometimes 15 months younger than the others. Redshirting skews the age, abilities, maturity, and social capacities of a class. I wish schools would set a cut off and hold to it.

It literally does not matter, speaking as a parent who didn’t redshirt and has kids in their older teens now. If you think it matters, you have lead, so far, a pretty narrow and restricted life. Of all the things my kids have encountered in their lives, other kids redshirting is never, ever on the list of even mildly problematic things they’ve encountered. I’d honestly be pretty stressed out as a parent if they told me the redshirting of other kids bothered them, because it would show my kids lacked a healthy sense of perspective and reality. (Fortunately my kids would never do that.)

Also, you have plenty of options with private school: just go to a private school that does not redshirt. There are some schools that don’t redshirt very often if at all. I don’t understand why that concept is so hard to grasp, but with private schools you have options.

You are incredibly naive with a sense of entitlement.

I think actually you are the one who is incredibly naive and entitled, given how upset you are about something like redshirting. You’ve clearly never encountered any real problems in school. You spend all your mental energy on this and not on the kids who go to school hungry, who are years behind grade level, the drugs in schools, the vaping, the violence. I’ve worked with, tried to solve, and seen all of this. But you? You are worried your precious little snowflake might encounter a kid ten months older than her rather than nine months older than her. Yeah, you are the naive and entitled one here.

Me: My late August daughter cried herself to sleep over hating school every day of kindergarten and considered herself a bad kid because she was always in trouble. I should have redshirted.

You:. You were just trying to get an unfair advantage for your daughter and disadvantage other kids.

Me: But I didn't redshirt? My daughter started K as a 4 yo.

You: Liar. All parents who favor redshirting are just gaming the system for themselves.

She has no kids. Has admitted it before. I think I recall something about a co-worker having issues with their kid. But all of this is just a bunch of nonsense from someone with zero skin in the game.
