[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most "summer birthday boys"? Summer birthdays range from part of June through part of September. Who would redshirt a June or July kid?[/quote] So many in the DMV! I know it first hand, kids from public and private schools. While we get many pps here asking about skipping a grade, I can see that red shirting is actually more prevalent. I know a family that held both kids back by a year, they told kids that they can choose since they are June babies, so it is not being behind. It is an academic and athletic advantage, just depends on a family why they held kids back. I can count at least 15 kids on top of my head right now.[/quote] This is why it was no question to us when our sept. birthday DD started school we "red-shirted" her. She would have started K as a 4 year old with boys who had turned 6 the previous April. Crazy.[/quote]
