[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is red shirted in my son's private - it isn't allowed coming into K. They have occasionally had a child skip a grade later, I hear, after the school has had a chance to see it is necessary. But I found this interesting: my child has dyslexia, and so in my reading about dyslexia I have found that it is very beneficial to get kids into school and potentially identifiable for challenges such as dyslexia early, because the older a kid gets the less brain plasticity there is. Identify a 5 or 6 or 7 year old with dyslexia and the child may have no lasting negative impact on reading. But wait till that same child is older, and it will be harder. But you need a couple of years in formal schooling to identify dyslexia, so the earlier school starts, the earlier remediation can start, too.[/quote] Is this in the DC area? ALL of the privates we considered were going to redshirt our summer girl. [/quote]
