[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate this red-shirting trend. If your child is age eligible to start send them. We now have Kindergarten classes with huge age swings just because Sally’s or Billy’s parents wanted them to be the tallest, fastest, smartest, the list goes on. Absent extreme situations it’s bullshit in my mind. [/quote] Totally agree. And the acceptable redshirting month seems to push earlier and earlier. It used to be just August and maybe some July. Now there are kids in my DD's grade that are March redshirts. In a local mom group, I've seen people consider it for JANUARY birthdays which is just wild to me. My DD is July 22 and the only other July birthday kids we've met are born the year before her with the exception of maybe 3? All August birthday kids we've met were born the year before her. She is quite possibly the youngest in her class and she was born 6 weeks before the cut off. [/quote]
