[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, you can think whatever you want. But don't confuse your opinion with evidence. And the fact that redshirting is "widely encouraged by the best private schools" is further evidence that redshirting is a tool used by well-off parents to ensure their otherwise average kids will be more successful than they would have been had they followed the rules applied to everyone else.

Personally, I find it amusing that private schools routinely advise or require redshirting and then tout that their academics are a year ahead.  Doesn't that mean that the academics are actually age-appropriate?[/quote]

I have a younger child and he should be a grade below but he's testing at the end of the year above him so I cannot imagine academically holding him back as then he'd be testing two years ahead.  Granted he could have easily gotten into gifted but I'd rather him be in his home school and in regular classes working at the level he should be at.[/quote]
