[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Humblebrag. I'm glad for you that your younger child is excelling socially and academically. [/quote] Thank you. Anything to add that might actually help me understand why my relatives think this is so important simply because of when his birthday is?[/quote] Maybe they read Malcolm Gladwell's book purporting to show all of the advantages of being the oldest? Or maybe they read one of those books that say that all boys develop later than all girls, and therefore school is good for all girls but bad for all boys? I think that redshirting can be a good thing in individual cases. But I don't think much of the idea that all boys should be redshirted simply because of when their birthdays are.[/quote]
