[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be glad the cutoff is 9/1.

In New York State, it’s 12/31.   And people still redshirt summer boys at least, so the gap is huge.  [/quote]

That’s too much. Public schools really need to mandate it. Anything that is 6months from the cutoff should require a medical/learning condition of some sort that they are receiving services for. [/quote]

Nonsense. You parent your kids, let other people parent theirs. [/quote]

The point is that it affects others. It affects the class dynamic. It changes the age and size range etc in the class.[/quote]

I assume you are stopping all outside supplementation, then? Since you are so concerned about what affects the class dynamics? Your kid had better not be doing outside worksheets or RSM or being read to at home. All of those activities, particularly outside tutoring like RSM and other academic programs, demonstrably have a far greater negative impact on class dynamics than redshirting. There is a lot of educational literature about how these programs skew the education of the entire class and how inequitable they are.

And don’t bother answering. I know you’ll come up with nonsense, self-serving reasons why your educational decisions for your child are perfectly fine but other people’s are not. I didn’t redshirt, but I absolutely despise the blantant hypocrisy of the anti-redshirters. [/quote]
