[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People should leave redshirting parents alone. They know better than anyone if their child is incapable of handling a Kindergarten class. I would prefer that when my child goes to Kindergarten they are not in class with a bunch of kids who cannot manage being there.

If your child is in no shape to go to Kindergarten, keep them out for another year.[/quote]

Cannot "manage" being there?  What does that even mean?  There will be more mature kids and less mature kids.  There will be academically advanced kids, and academically behind kids.  There is no way to create a 'fair' system of clones with identical abilities, despite what redshirting parents claim to think.

[b]Most do it to try to get their kid a leg up.[/b][/quote]

I don't know any family that has ever said that. So my conclusion has always been that although their child is chronologically ready that child is unable to handle being in a Kindergarten class with peers. They often need an extra year in a preschool classroom to get them ready.[/quote]

Of course they don't say that!  Good lord, some of you people are absurd.[/quote]

Well then I assume their child needs to be in class with younger children for some reason.[/quote]
