[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No matter how many times this comes up, I don't understand why people get so worked up about parents having still-limited-but-reasonable choices about when their child is ready for school. [/quote] Because it's bullshit. A child being left back in K? Really? There's no reason for it.[/quote] But there are reasons for it - which is why reasonable people sometimes do it. I can't speak for the parents trying to get a leg up for their kids - but there are parents who made the choice because their child was actually developmentally delayed or some such reason.[/quote] There are many redshirted kids in private school. I've never met a since one who was left back for development delays. Not one. Those kids should not have been allowed to be held back because their parents thought it was a good idea or it would somehow give them an advantage.[/quote]
