[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son turns 5 on October 4th, and we seriously considered redshirting him. There are countless studies that show that older kids do better academically. However, as tempted as we were to redshirt, we've ultimately decided that we're going to send him to Kindergarten this fall. Redshirting is cheating, and sometimes you have to give up what you desire in order to do what's right. It simply wouldn't be fair to kids born in 2016 if they had to compete with someone born in 2015. Even though he won't do as well in school as he would if we wait a year, my S/O and I have decided that we'd much rather our son do okay playing by the rules than excel by cheating.[/quote] Where do you live?
