[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Redshirting is for kids who are not academically ready, not for kids who are advanced!! What do you think is going to happen to a bright child if you redshirt her? She is going to be bored out of her mind, which could cause serious problems down the line. Seriously, this is one of the weirder things I have read here: my child should be held back because she is advanced?? [/quote] +1. The OP needs to rethink what having an ideal childhood means. I thought your pulling her out of Montessori was interesting as well. Is she happier in her current school? You cannot artificially slow down a child's desire to learn. You can slow down her learning, sure, by not providing her with the right challenges. But not the internal desire to do something and be competitive. [/quote]
