[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a wealthy public school district where the majority of parents who have [b]February [/b]to August birthdays are choosing to redshirt their boys so they will be 6 when starting Kinder. My son’s teacher has not indicated he should be held back however I have a number of friends who work in elementary education who said they would without a doubt hold a late May birthday back. [/quote] What?! People are redshirting February birthdays? :shock: The kid would turn 7 halfway through K. That's ridiculous. Assuming the cutoff is in August or September, then redshirting kids with birthdays a month or two away from the cutoff is reasonable. Unless the kid has special needs or other issues, kids should not be turning 7 while still in kindergarten. [/quote]
