[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- Many have said if she were a boy, it would be a more clear cut decision to redshirt because of the very late birthday. Wondering why we are more hesitant to give this advantage to girls.[/quote] I'm the PP who said it was unbelievable. I have 3 kids, including 2 boys with September bdays, and our kids start school on schedule. Unless there's a documented LD/SN, parents should not just decide that they will keep their kids home for another year so they're bigger faster stronger than the other kids. And even in the case of a LD/SN, sometimes they'd STILL be better off starting school on schedule so they can get the support they need. In no other country is there this obsession with making sure your kid gets every possible advantage over every other kid, even if you need to cheat the system to get it. It's sad. Funny that DCUM seems to be such a 'blue' place, and yet there's such an obsession with redshirting. I don't get it.[/quote]
