[quote=Anonymous]Op, you’ll never get a simple answer to this. I know lots of kids with SNs who delayed school or repeated grades. Know lots of typical kids too. The spasms the question of “redshirting” generates on this board is simply that—people who think way way too much about it. You know that old saying that everyone by the time they go to college is potty trained—well the same can be said about delaying school age, which most of the western world does anyway. So if a college bound kid is not potty trained and cursing the heavens that his parents had him start kindergarten at 6 and not 5, well time to throw in the towel. You’ll just have to love the kid to pieces b/c you screwed up all the fundamentals. Enjoy the pancakes. They may not be perfectly shaped or cooked, but they all taste the same.[/quote]
