[quote=Anonymous]"This model has been tried and I believe schools are moving away from it. Parents still want to make the decision of which grade their kid should go to. Plus separating from your friends and it is still too young to hold kids back. There is a belief that some kids never recover." Not true. Many districts have PK programs and two year kindergartens and research shows that there is no "belief that some kids never recover" anywhere. Yes, parents want to choose to redshirt, and systems allow that, but whether or not it is wise is debatable among the experts. Google scholar should be able to help you find some studies on red shirting. Parents like to fall back on the "I know my child and what's right for them", but that is a hollow argument and only half the equation. Parents know their kids, but they don't know education. Do your research.[/quote]
