[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's quite an exaggeration to say or imply that most parents hold their kids back because of sports. We know many, many parents who have made the choice to have their child, usually son, repeat a grade (including ourselves). No one takes this decision lightly and there are always many reasons to "redshirt" a child. Our son's teachers are the ones who recommended that he repeat a grade and I guarantee that sports didn't cross their minds when making the recommendation. [/quote] I don't think the article or posters here are talking about social/academic reasons to red-shirt. It's sports related that we are talking about. I think most people know there are valid reasons to red-shirt, sports is not one.[/quote]
