[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]redshirting this year is literally the most shirt sighted thing I can imagine. Your kid will be placed in the most overcrowded, competitive class for the rest of their lives. Good luck getting into a good college.[/quote]

You’re assuming school will be back to normal in 2021 - I make no such assumptions. [/quote]

But if that's true then redshirting is even stupider. You might have to redshirt your child for years. [/quote]

Not really. You redshirt your kid for this year as we did (August birthday). Private K programs are much easier to find, some churches even offer them and day cares do as well. We could easily enroll in a private K for the 2021-2022 school year. And the kids with borderline birthdays who would be going to school in August 2021 would also be redshirted. There’s also a lot of people who’s kids don’t have summer birthdays who are pulling out and homeschooling for a year vs. doing the disastrous virtual K. Then going to 1st grade (or 2nd, if schools are disrupted in 2021 and they homeschool for another year) at the normal time. Point is I think it will all even out. [/quote]
