[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t - everyone red shirts their boys so she’ll be in class with kids two full years older than her. [/quote] what does this mean? "red shirt" [/quote] It means they think all parents of boys are holding back their kids a year [b]to make it easier on the parents or to get them in a fancy private.[/b] Not true at all.[/quote] ?? Not at all what it means. OP this person is confused by what redshirting means - it means keeping a kid with a summer birthday in preschool an extra year (to give the child an advantage and/or remove the disadvantage of being the youngest throughout school). Nothing to do with private school, and it’s generally tougher (versus easier) on the parents at least $$-wise, but they’re doing it for the benefit of the child I would say among MC to UMC parents, it’s pretty common [/quote]
