[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Don’t listen to DCUM anti-redshirters. Some of them are literally insane.

If you want to put your child in on time, by all means do it. You know your child best. [/quote]

I think some of the surprise in this thread is that the OP has already redshirted her son. He’s almost 6 and still in prek. So if she holds him back another year, which it definitely sounds like he doesn’t need from an academic and social side, then he will be a solid 1 to 1.5 years older than students in his class, even the ones on the older side. It’s kinda infantilism? And sorry but definitely odd if he would be turning 19 before he finishes high school. I mean why? [/quote]

Sounds like her son is four and will turn five this May.  So if she sends him to K on time, he will turn 6 in May of his K year.  But she is considering redshirting, in which case he would be 5 for his prek year and 6 for his K year, turning 7 at the tail end.[/quote]

He is already 5. So if she holds him back he will be 7 in kindergarten, which would mean he would be 19 as a senior in high school. He’d essentially be held back two years as she has already held him back from starting kindergarten at age 5 this year which he was several months before the school year started. [/quote]

I don’t believe he is already five - where did she say this?[/quote]
