[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were little I was pretty anti-red shirting (which was an easy position for me to take since both my kids were born in October) but now that my kids are in high school and I see how much some of their (very bright) friends with September birthdays are struggling, I see why people do it. Those kids are at a real disadvantage and it is not a great outcome for anyone. I get the equity implications of allowing red shirting and wish parents had the option of additional free preschool if they chose to delay kindergarten. [/quote] Yeah, I guess that is why California offers "TK" (transitional kindergarten) for kids who are at the young end of the year.[/quote]
