[quote=Anonymous]I actually read a book about this topic. Their opinion: if parents do want to redshirt a kid, it is better to do it in the first grade instead of kindergarten. I am struggling if I should redshirt my summer birthday boy. He is book smart but he has other issues. For example, he just had an accident (poop in the pants) because he wouldn't tell the teacher he needed to go to the bathroom no matter how much the teacher and us told him if he needs to go just tell them. He is in K now and as the book said, retain the first grade not the K, because lots of the K students just start to learn how to stand in line (a lot of our school students haven't been to preschool or speak English). It is a hard decision. [/quote]
