[quote=Anonymous]NP here. We actually did the opposite of redshirting. Our child has middle September birthday and we made her take the Early Admission to Kindergarten test. She was able to handle the workload well through ES, MS and HS. Physically she is average and emotionally she is more mature than older kids. She is well liked by teachers and peers. There are some social aspects of being younger than her classmates that we have noticed, but we have not found that to be a negative. She was the last among her peers to get a learner's permit. Some CIT and volunteering gigs, part-time jobs and some internships applicants need to be 16 yrs old - so we had to work around this in HS. This has not been a big enough drawback. Academically, she has been in the magnet track in STEM throughout.[/quote]
