Why is redshirting so rare if it's so advantageous?

There are many studies that show that kids who are redshirted do better in school as well as later in life, and honestly, you don’t have to be a scientist to see why this makes sense. Kids who start older are going to be more mature and ready to handle the challenges of school. This means they’ll get better grades, get into better colleges, and get better jobs.

You’d think that based on this information, any parent with a fall-born child who could afford an extra year of daycare would redshirt without hesitation. But this is not the case. When I think of all people I know who have fall birthdays and are from affluent families, the vast majority started Kindergarten at 4. As tempted as I am to redshirt my son, I can’t help but feel that there must be a reason why so few parents do it.

If you have a fall-born child who you could afford to redshirt but didn’t, why not? And if you could do it over again, would you redshirt?

From what I've read, it's not advantageous in the long run but does confer some advantages for a few years in early elementary. Nevertheless, it isn't rare at all here. It's downright commonplace, especially in the more affluent schools.

A kid who has a November birthday and will be 4 at the start of kindergarten must be in NY or CT. I guess that person could do what is common in their area. On the other hand, since those dates are so outside of the norm for everywhere else that kid will be far younger than their grade peers across the country and much younger as a freshman in college. If that's going to be an issue then redshirt, but don't complain if you happen to move and all the kids are now 15 months older, you'll have to own the short sighted decision to send a 4 year old to kindergarten assuming nothing would change.

Do you own a home?

+1. It's quite common at the "sought after" publics people talk about on DCUM a lot, and at certain privates it's almost required. There are some private schools in this area that essentially require kids to be reading by K and will not admit a child who can't pass a basic literacy test. This means that of course many parents will redshirt kids to ensure they can pass this test, and the school policies basically encourage it.

DC's culture is obsessive about academic achievement. While outside of this region, I would guess most redshirting occurs for social reasons, in DC there is a lot of academic or sports-related redshirting done with the explicit goal of giving their child an edge, or at least making sure they get the same edge as all the other kids. People will openly explain this reasoning to you, it's not some shameful secret.

Why is academic redshirting seen as an advantage in sports? Every youth sports association I know of has straight age cut offs. You cannot be 19 years old and play Varsity football or 17 for JV in my local area, as an example. So redshirted kids will still be grouped with their real age group in sports.

In my area and in some sports they go by HS graduating year. They don't keep asking the class of 2027 how old they are.
