[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My August boy went to school on time and is doing great. We met with the school psychologist before making the decision and he strongly urged us to send him. He said red shirted kids might have a leg up in K-2 ish but by the time they are in middle school they start to feel uncomfortable with how much bigger and developed they are than everyone else. Also, by the time they are in high school, they look like they don't belong anymore. [b]20 is too old to be in high school. [/b][/quote]
If your school psychologist said this to you, I’d contact his supervisor. [/quote]
Seriously. Either the PP is making this story up or she’s in a crappy school whose staff members don’t understand literally the most basic math possible?[/quote]

If you redshirt a September kid, they would be 7 when they start so 20 as a senior.[/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

If you’re too stupid to understand basic math, the STFU about anything related to school. You just don’t get it.

Ok... I feel bad for him/her so I will explain. If the cutoff is September 1st and parents decide to redshirt one of the already oldest kids in the class (I have never heard of this happening), then that kid will turn 19 at the beginning of senior year. What is much more likely is that when the cutoff is October 1st, that same September birthday kid would be the youngest and start K at 4 (about to turn 5). If redshirted, this kid will start K at 5 (about to turn6) and willstart senior year at 17 (about to turn 18). This child will not be 20 until sophomore year in college. Get it now?[/quote]

Someone explains on every thread but the idiots just don’t get it. It should be an automatic disqualifier for ever posting about anything related to education.
