[quote=Anonymous]Whatever the pros and cons, it sure seems more common in private. Our son just finished freshman year at a private after switching from public, and while there were quite a few 'summer redshirts' among his public school friends, it's much more noticeable to us how many boys were way older -- freshman boys turning 16 mid year, not just spring/summer. Now that we're immersed in HS sports that angle is much clearer to us. (Probably naively thought it wouldn't make that big of a difference/would even out or was just for social/academic developmental reasons during grade school . . . now we can see it can make a huge difference for sports & it seems obvious that was the long term strategy with many of these families -- whether it's effective, fair, or not -- I am on the fence.)[/quote]
