[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]Why does it matter if people do or do not redshirt their kid?[/b] What matters is if your kid is ready for K if they are on the fence age wise. If they are ready, why leave them in pre-school an extra year? And if they are not, give them an extra year to mature, even if their BFF who was born the same week heads off to K. Your child’s pre-school teacher should be able to give you good insight into whether your child is ready or not. There are also checklists all over the internet. For example, https://www.familyeducation.com/school/kindergarten-readiness/kindergarten-readiness-checklist http://www.vbschools.com/kindergarten/checklist.pdf But realize that in FCPS/APS, most kids will be ahead of the curve. [/quote] Not the OP, but it matters a lot because if the vast majority of parents are red shirting their kids then the age gap is that much more pronounced. You could have a barely 5 yr old in a K class with 6.5+ yr olds.[/quote]
