[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were not redshirted (spring birthdays, no SN known at the time), so I never had to consider this and am therefore curious- what ARE the socially acceptable reasons to redshirt? For those who are against redshirting, what needs do you deem valid to make a case for redshirting?[/quote] For me, it's documented special needs and recommendations from professionals. For example, my coworker's kid was severely premature, and is probably 5th percentile for height and weight. I didn't ask, but I'm sure has some learning delays too. They decided to have their kid repeat K, and I can totally understand that decision.[/quote] Agree. I think parents should have to have a minimum of 2-3 professionals who have SPENT TIME WITH THEIR CHILD sign off on redshirting. If the reasons are as profound as the parents claim, this should not be a problem. [/quote]
