[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me start by saying [b]I have no dog in this fight [/b]– I have two kids with April and November birthdays. I just genuinely don't get this redshirting fad (yes, it seems like a fad to me). Why aren't the rules the rules? Why isn't the deadline hard and fast? Someone will be the oldest and youngest - my older kid is the smallest, though not the youngest, in his class - do what? The teachers know how to deal with it, and it's part of school life. I really don't see why this is even allowed.[/quote]

Have you never read the myriad of posts already dedicated to this topic?

I don't believe you don't have a dog in this fight.  High marks for subtly.  Points deducted for beating a dead horse.

I really don't. And why would I be a troll? No posts here have answered my question. Sure, in the case of severe special needs, accommodations should be made. But some kids will be immature. Some will be more ready than others. That's life.[/quote]

What is your question? Why aren't the rules the rules? Several posters have answered that question -- the rules ARE the rules. You just don't like the rules.

Or is your question, why isn't the deadline hard and fast? Several posters have also answered that question -- because children are not identical.

But again: if you think that there should be no redshirting, don't waste your time starting another thread on DCUM. Start lobbying your state legislature and your local school board.[/quote]
