[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was held back when I was little. No one called it redshirting then. I won't go into the reasons for privacy's sake. But the idea that this gave me some advantage over my classmates is just bizarre and ridiculous and kinda paranoid. I know everyone here is in high dudgeon and luxuriating in their own sense of self-righteousness, but you're really making a very big mountain out of a very small molehill. It's really not that big of deal. [/quote] Think of it this way: It gave you an advantage over yourself that was not red-shirted, right? That's what your parents wanted to do it? So, imagine the you whose parents don't go to the news... you're getting, at the very least, an advantage over them. There are some aspects of school that are zero-sum, including selective admissions later on, and PPs have eloquently explained how a culture of red-shirting changes the bar for everyone in problematic ways.[/quote]
