[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt this will matter to the already derailed thread, but there have been boys redshirted all over the city.

It's not a strictly Lafeyette, or strictly NW, or strictly Ward 3 thing.[/quote]

I live in NE. I asked to redshirt my August birthday kid (in part due to Covid -- she missed PK3 due to Covid and seemed immature for K to me) and was told no and that it was not permitted under DCPS rules. We know lots of summer and September birthdays at our school (the young kids from the grade seem to gravitate towards each other) and none are redshirted.

I was very surprised when this story surfaced to learn that redshirting was fairly common at Lafayette or any school. It is unheard of at our DCPS and I can't imagine them allowing it absent SNs.[/quote]

So you let a faceless bureaucrat who doesn't know jack squat about your kid overrule you?  Even though you were confident that you did not think your child was mature enough for kindergarten?

People on this thread are quick to trash "rich NW parents" for standing up for their kids but at least they're standing up and not getting railroaded by some DCPS numskull.[/quote]
