[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 [b]almost 9 months older[/b].[/quote]

This could be true even without redshirting. Should your May child be protected from those horrid children born in September? Perhaps we should divide grades up into three-month increments to make sure your child doesn't get compared to a kid who was walking while yours was still crawling? The horror. What about those kids who hit their growth spurts earlier than others? Probably best to separate them out so as not to scare your late bloomers whose brains might be in a different place. Also, there might be kids who have higher IQs or a natural aptitude for words or numbers. It isn't really fair that they pollute your child's air with their over-proficiency. Might be best for the teachers to set those ones to the side for fear of making others feel bad. My god, it's like we're surrounded by a massive sea of unfairness that is totally different from the real world these kids will eventually have to live in.[/quote]
