[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Careful, you just entered a DCUM war zone. Prepare for the wave of parents who say they are doing what's best for their kids, completely ignoring that redshirting inevitably puts younger kids at a disadvantage. Holding your kid back, no matter how "shy" or "immature" he or she is, will always, always skew a class demographic. I wish private schools would set a cut off and stick with it, but that would piss off too many monied families who don't want their kid to be on the younger side. Make [b]April or May cut offs[/b], I don't care, but let it be a real thing and stop creating grades that span 18+ months.[/quote] I think most parents who do the would only go back to January. Is there a big difference between May and Jan?[/quote]
