[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who was the youngest by more than what people are freaking out about here. Let me clarify the math. I am a late Dec. birthday and started in a school with a Dec. 31st cutoff. A few years later we moved to a school that had a soft June 1 cutoff. So I was typically at least six months younger than my classmates and often more. Private school K-12.

I’m going to stop posting now, though, because it’s clear to me the anti-redshirters have no interest in actually hearing anything other than “you are 100% right all the time.” So here you go: you are 100% right all the time. Good luck to you. I think you are going to really need it over the years. [/quote]

I don't even really think there's a "right or a wrong" but I would think most people could agree that a 16-18 mo gap in the same grade is kind of a lot and certainly not the intent/norm from when most of us parents were growing up.[/quote]

Parents did the same thing when we were growing up, especially those who expected their kids to get scholarships.  I'd rather save the money from an extra year of preschool/child care and use that money for college.[/quote]
