[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we need more information. I think of redshirting as waiting an extra year before sending a kid to kindergarten. You are not talking about redshirting. You are talking about repeating a grade. What are your reasons for considering this? [/quote]

I posted to question to gain insight on how other parents felt. I personally do not wish to redshirt my son but his father believes its a great opportunity for him to reach his dreams. He's a honor roll student and is developmentally on top of his school work and has great social skills. I am in totally disagreement to do this and can't even begin to fathom the mental stress he will have to endure at such a young tender age of 11. He's goin to 7th grade is doing well. I am afraid the set back my hurt him instead of helping him. Thanks for your response. [/quote]

Will the school even let you do that? At least in public, you typically need to have the school agree to holding the child back, and they typically only allow it where there are substantial special needs. I'd be surprised if you could find a private school that would do it either. A child who is so clearly ready to move on is more likely to end up bored and getting into trouble if they repeat a year for no reason.[/quote]
