[quote=Anonymous]Kids are old enough to start Kindergarten (the minimum age in FCPS is 5 yo, for example). But parents can choose to keep their child out of Kindergarten until the following year so they are 6 yo when entering. The term comes from college sports. From Wikipedia: In United States college athletics, redshirt is a delay or suspension of an athlete's participation in order to lengthen their period of eligibility. So the idea is to delay a Kindergartner's school start time by waiting a year. The topic stirs up a lot of emotion on DCUM.[/quote]
