[quote=Anonymous]I red-shirted and it had nothing to do with how my kid would compare to other kids, but rather how ready he was for the way K is taught, which is quite different from how it was taught 30 years ago. He was ready for playing, and finger-painting but even preschool circle time was tough enough for him that his teacher suggested that he didn't seem ready for K. He doesn't have a learning disability, or other challenges and is doing fine now. I don't know who he would be in the counter-factual sliding door world where we sent him on time. Maybe also fine. We did our best to make the right choice for him at the time. I really wasn't aware of the DCUM anti-redshirting sentiments then but, frankly, I still would have given priority to my own sense of my kid's best interest, rather than what other people might think of my choices.[/quote]
