[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do consider it gaming the system. Parents redshirt their children to give them an advantage. It also rewards school systems for having unrealistic expectations, reinforcing the cycle of redshirting and inappropriate expectations. Also, from my DS's experience (September birthday sent on time) and [b]his cousin's experience (September birthday redshirted)[/b], in the first couple years, the children either get a false sense of poor behavior or a false sense of mastery. Neither are ideal, but in older elementary school, [b]DS's cousin is really struggling with not finding school easy anymore[/b].[/quote] This would be my fear with my Sept. bday child--that if everything is easy because she's so much older, that she won't get practice with challenging herself.[/quote]
