[quote=Anonymous]We didn’t redshirt our summer birthday DD. She went to a PK3-2nd grade school for PK3-PK4 and a number of parents with summer birthdays kept their kids in the school for K and then sent them to public K (so two years of kindergarten). I talked to those parents, and the school, and everyone recommended that we redshirt in this manner. We decided against it for various reasons and I’m so glad that we did. From a maturity standpoint, even though DD is one of the youngest, she’s also very mature and I think it would have been harder for her. Academically, she is advanced. So know that there are two sides to the consideration, with pros and cons on both, and it is very hard to predict which side you’ll be on in the long run. It will come down to luck- you have to guess what your kid will be like in the future and be lucky to have guessed correctly. [/quote]
