[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people do this. [/quote] Most of America doesn't because outside of the DMV, NYC, and a few other places, Labor Day or earlier is the traditional school cutoff. That is why almost all Americans are surprised to find a 17-year old college freshman who didn't skip a year - they assume all are 18 years old. And American U.S. curriculum schools overseas for expats and military also adhere to a variation of the Labor Day or late August early September cutoff. For them, redshirting means keeping at home a kid born in May or over the summer, not a September 1-30 birth date. That's just normal for most of the country. [/quote]
