[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At one point there will be 8 year olds in kindergarten. It's ridiculous.

I can't think of one red-shirted child in my child's class that has any sort of developmental delay. It's just that their parents want them to have an advantage over other children.

It's unfair to those of us whom have decided that we don't want to red-shirt our kids.

All of these parents say oh my kid is immature, yeah, five year olds are supposed to be immature. They just need to own it and admit that they want to give their kid a huge advantage and boost in self esteem by doing better in school than children whom are much younger than them. It's ridiculous.

Eh the same thing  was going on when I was in elementary school and I don't think the children have an advantage outside of sports.  I don't think it's anymore advantageous than taking a gap year before stating your freshman year of college.

If anything I think it would suck to be so old when graduating high school and college.  [/quote]
