[quote=Anonymous]Quite a few children at our NWDC public school have to re-do 4th grade when they start at STA and NCS (maybe at other schools too). Seems very odd but it also suggests that it is school-driven rather than (entirely) parent-driven. Also, to the extent that some redshirting is intended to give kids an advantage in sports, it seems that the sports teams/clubs could eliminate this issue by forming teams based on birthdate rather than by school year. Even schools teams could do this - for ex., must have a birthdate within such and such to qualify for varsity, jv, etc. There are always solutions. Again, it sounds like the schools might be driving this re: sports b/c the solution would be so easy. [/quote]
