[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s interesting to me is I live in “flyover” now. No one redshirts. Your kid goes to school at age. Ther is no “rowdiness”, any more then there is a rigorous preschool curriculum and education. So anyone saying it’s not competitive (save for certain circumstances) to redshirt is talking our of their behind. [/quote]

They mean it’s only not competitive when they hold back their kids for a leg up. If someone else wants them to have equal footing they are being competitive  :roll: [/quote]

Where do you live?  I have lived in Omaha, Cincinnati, St Louis, and Cleveland.  There is plenty of redshirting.  And there are plenty of rigorous preschool curriculums.  
These things are more about being at a certain income level than about living in a particular location.  [/quote]

+1.  If anything, this seems to be a much bigger deal in DC.  I live in the Midwest, and I have never heard anyone say anything about it either way unless they are talking about their own child.  If anything, it seems to be encouraged since the teachers prefer to have an older class.  [/quote]
