[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend’s son turned five on June 1, THE cutoff day to redshirt in our district. She’s redshirting because, what’s the point. If he had been born a few hours earlier, it wouldn’t be an option. As it stands now, he will be 6 years, 3 months when he starts K in 2021. Seems old. Maybe not. Will most redshirt if it’s an option for them this year?[/quote] The studies show kids that are held back may have a small advantage for a couple years but are lower-achieving later in life.[/quote] FWIW I have yet to find a study that differentiates between who redshirt for no reason (and just wanting the kid to be more competitive / bigger / older / better at sports) vs those that redshirt for a learning disability type reason. I think that can skew the results, personally. I am interested in the topic - but alas I am not a researcher.[/quote]
