[quote=Anonymous]The thing with redshirting boys in kindergarten is that while it may make sense then, it can become a problem at the high school level. Now you have these 19 year old young men in the same classes as 16 year olds. And those are very different places socially, athletically, and so on. Redshirting in public schools should only be allowed under really extraordinary circumstances. Mostly for special ed. And they should be tracked accordingly. Private schools can do whatever. As long as parents know their 5 year olds will be in classes with 7 year olds. And they can make informed decisions if that's the best place for their kids. The way things are, it seems like a lot of parents are trying to game things for their poorly behaved boys. Or they want all the sports advantages that come with being older. [/quote]
