[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re redshirt, it means that MOST (certainly not all!) parents who can afford it will have boys (and sometimes girls too) who have summer birthdays do an extra year of pre-K, so they’re not the youngest but instead the oldest in the class. So if you started your child a year early, she’d likely be in class with kids who had turned 6 just before starting - which may (…or may not!) be fine now, but might not be ideal in 5/10/15 years [/quote]

Your neighborhood must be quite different from mine.  I would say that MANY parents of September birthday boys and some girls may wait a year--but MOST summer birthdays?  Strongly disagree.[/quote]
