[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I never heard of the term "red shirting" until just a few years ago. We were out of the country and didn't want to start him in kindergarten in February when we got back so we waited until the following year. A good number of his classmates turned 18 this summer, too. I didn't know it was such a big deal to wait a year. Apparently to a few of you it is. My bad. Yes, his applications are done - essays completed - and he did a college class this summer that he aced. No high school summer homework except a reading list which he had finished in June. Again, thank you everyone. [/quote] Sounds like you raised a great kid, be proud. Most kids his age are too lazy to do all that and pay for and plan a trip. Dont waste energy on this, address it let him know it really bothered you but be sure to tell him you are proud of him. Frankly, people here coddle and baby kids so much most are years behind theirs internationally. [/quote]
