[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does mandatory Kindergarten increase redshirting? Aside from the people who are concerned about outside-the-norm delays, there are a group of pro-redshirters who want to give their children "the gift of time" or "let them have their childhood." If Kindergarten were not required (as it is in Maryland), would those parents be willing to enter their children in 1st grade with the appropriate age cohort, having kept them out of formal education during their Kindergarten year? Those children would then have had an "extra" year of childhood, but also still be in the standard class for their birthdate.[/quote] From reading the other redshirt thread, it sounded like people who redshirt want their kids to go to kindergarten, but with what they consider to be a more an age appropriate curriculum.[/quote]
