[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is a tough situation. 16:54 is right that Virginia cannot mandate your child go to school at age 5, and plenty of parents hold back children that are not ready. But APS holds a lot of cards and your placement may not be exactly what you'd like in a year. There are strong policy reasons why red shirts are disfavored by public school systems, the most important being that some poor children may be withheld out of neglect rather than a parent's careful decision. If you are asking if your child is guaranteed to get back into the K-2 classroom the next year, I don't think you are going to get it. But I'd like to think that if next year that class was the most appropriate for DC, they would place DC there regardless if DC was held out for a year. [/quote]
