[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do some of you reconcile red shirting but then also taking advantage of the free prek3 and 4. They are either ready for all day school or not. [/quote]

I am the pp poster above who regrets not redshirting.  I didn't send my child to all day PK3.  We chose a 1/2 day 3-day a week private program. We did send him to an all day PK4, but it was a play-based program. Wish now I would have kept him in it another year. How different the last three years would have been! And not just for my kid - for yours too.  He has been rather disruptive in class. You non-redshirting parents, do you really want immature, disruptive summer birthday boys in your kids' classrooms?! My kid takes up A LOT of the teacher's time and attention both in term of behavior and academics.[/quote]

But he was three years more mature and still being disruptive, so may be you are focusing on the wrong thing as a cause.[/quote]

Maybe you should MYOB, because these kids are very complicated and it's not always clear what the right thing is, and parents do what they can to help, which may include redshirting.

Or, you can just go on bashing parents with struggling kids.  [/quote]
