[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is part of the problem. You can elect to redshirt, but then you're stuck. Your kid, who had a temporary [whatever] that caused you to question his ability to handle kindergarten is now permanently dealing with being in an inappropriate grade. You can't now skip him up to the proper grade easily or in many cases at all. If redshirting is no big deal, if parents deciding what their child ready for is something we absolutely support, then holding back and promoting forward should be something that can happen more than once, and with relative ease.[/quote] Yeah, that extra year of playtime at preschool doesn't always end well for the child. There is a boy in my daughter's class who is a year+ older and a full foot taller than the classmates.[/quote]
