[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s hilarious how the anti-redshirters will simultaneously screech about how some kids are getting an unfair advantage AND assert that redshirting makes kids dumb, poor, and violent. [/b]

They should thank redshirters for making their kids relatively younger, which is an advantage, right? Enjoy! Your precious Larla will be super advanced because of all of those dumb older kids!

Or you could just worry about your own kids’ education, and let other people worry about theirs. [/quote]

Exactly![/quote]

Not pp, but those things aren't mutually exclusive if you think about it and consider where the kid might be otherwise.[/quote]

In our neighborhood it is quite common to keep the kids home for an extra year.  They get a lot of extra free time and it is an advantage for that reason.  They can still go to kindergarten half days.  We did it with all of our kids.  I could care less about test scores.  It was a nice way to let the kids play a little bit longer.  If you can afford it, then do it.  If you can't, then don't.[/quote]
