[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to change the rules. It's getting absurd.[/quote] Non-DC resident here but curious: What exactly ARE the rules on redshirting? I'm shocked by these threads! I'm in NYC and there is a strict public school rule that all kids born in a given calendar year start K, etc. So you have kids born January-December 2014 all in one grade, etc. I'm not sure under what circumstances exceptions are made but unless you send your kid to private school redshirting is basically not an option. I know a handful of people with Nov/Dec babies for whom the rule really did compel them to look at private schools (this after overspending on real estate in the best public school district prior to getting pregnant) but other than that redshirting really isn't brought up.[/quote]
