[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused. The cutoff for K in MCPS is Sept 1. So the kid who turned 6 in early September was not redshirted. He is just one of the older ones. Or am I missing something?[/quote] People skip a year to make their child smarter and bigger for athletics and academics. MCPS does nothing to curb it. My daughter has kids in various ages but she had a 6th grader that turned 13 in March of this year. Insane. I think the cut off should be Sept 1st and you can test your child in up until Oct 1st BUT also have to test your kid out of K if they are 5 by Aug 1st. Meaning you have to have a meeting to show proof of why your child can not start K. This whole redshirting is getting ridiculous. That said, I remember someone mentioning you can not play sports after 18yrs old so that could change senior year people who hold back to much. [/quote]
