[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend’s son turned five on June 1, THE cutoff day to redshirt in our district. She’s redshirting because, what’s the point. If he had been born a few hours earlier, it wouldn’t be an option. As it stands now, he will be 6 years, 3 months when he starts K in 2021. Seems old. Maybe not. Will most redshirt if it’s an option for them this year?[/quote] Ok, that was just plain greedy of her. Redshirting a kid born between October and December is somewhat understandable(though not justified), but a kid with a June birthday is already on the older half. I guess the fact that her son was already slated to be older than most of his classmates wasn't good enough for her; she wanted him to be at-least 7 months older anyone else in his class. If I were you, I would tell your friend that if she wants to be on a moral high ground, she should move her son up to his age-appropriate grade.[/quote]
