[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If redshirting is cheating, what about tutors?  Afterall, not all families can afford them for their kid.  Also, how about therapy.  Not everyone gets that or can afford it.  Seriously, when you are giving your child what they need to succeed in this world and it doesn't violate the rules, which red shirting does not in many places, then it's not cheating.  What a crazy idea that you would withhold something that benefits your child just because everyone else doesn't do it.  [/quote]

What about private school?! Talk about cheating...[/quote]

Trust funder here , we do public and they go on time. Frankly if they, with two educated parents and world travel and hugely varied experiences aren't "mature" enough for K, I've failed. Ironically its just such kids who are routinely redshirted. [/quote]

[b]Why isn't having a trust fund to pass on cheating?[/b] That seems far more impactful than whatever kindergarten start year your kid has.

The idea of a parent with a trust fund who is passing that trust fund on criticizing other parents for "cheating" because they redshirted is beyond laughable. My god, the privilege, it blinds. [/quote]

NP - what are you talking about?  You make zero sense.  It's not PP's choice to have a trust fund.  It's pure luck.

The jealousy, it blinds.[/quote]

I don't need to be jealous of a trust fund. But the idea that somebody who is sitting on millions of dollars talking up what an awesome parent she is for "not cheating" is laughable. She can absolutely give away all the money she receives if she wants so stop with the idea that she's a helpless recipient of millions of dollars. I am sure she doesn't. I am [i]sure[/i], in fact, that she engages in activities that perpetuate this education gap she claims to be so concerned about far more than most of the parents on this thread who redshirted their kids.
