Exactly, if pele,believe this study, no one should complain about red shirting not being fair to other kids, because by the logic of this article, the other kids benefit from older classmates.[/quote]

However, if you are sending your child to two years of public kindergarten, you are costing all of the tax payers more money.  If you are going to redshirt so it on your own dime and send your child to private school.  [/quote]

People who redshirt in attempts to gain an advantage, [b]delay[/b] sending their kids to school, which does not cost the public schools anything.

It is extremely difficult to get the public schools to repeat K even if your kid has LDs and an IEP.  Most kids who repeat grades have LDs.  So your point is irrelevant.[/quote]

NP here and all the redshirting parents I have ever know held their child back in Kindergarten so PP is correct from my standpoint as well.  How do you know your child is not socially, emotionally or academically prepared for 1st grade until you are there?  [/quote]

That hasn't been our experience. It is exceedingly difficult to hold a child back in public schools. Most parents send their kid to an extra year of preschool. Or do a year of private K then go to the public school for K. [/quote]
