[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A question about fairness! How is it fair for red shirted kids to be in a class with my late June birthday kid? Developmentally they are going to be ahead, do the teachers care or take this into consideration?? It doesn't seem fair. Some can be almost 9 months older.[/quote] It depends on the kid. DS is a late June birthday and taller than most of his classmates. He was selected for LIV services so he academically fine. He plays sports with kids born in his birth year. He has a friend who could be in his grade but was red shirted and it was 100% the right call. The kid would have struggled if he had started on time. Maturity wise he is not there. Attention wise he is not there. And size wise he is not there. Good kid, smart, funny, and a good heart but not ready to be in the higher grade. [/quote]
