[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think at this point people can see the anti-redshirters for what they are: aggressive hypocrites who attack little children. They always show who they are in the end. Every single time. [/quote]

And, you don't see an issue with a 14 year old being in HS classes with a 19 year old?  That's what is happening at our school.[/quote]

Suuuuuure. [/quote]

Let me  guess, you have elementary school kids.  Math, Foreign Language, PE, Health Ed and electives all have Freshman through Seniors.  So, a freshman will be 14 and a senior will be 18-19.  They only have 2 levels of band classes, they only have two levels of choir, so what do you think they do with the advanced freshman?  They put them with the seniors.  There is a huge range of kids taking Algebra 2 to Calculus and they are all mixed in the same classes.[/quote]

A late May redshirted kid is 19 for maybe two weeks before graduation.  That’s not worth getting worked up about.

A late summer birthday is 18 the entire school year, as would be a non redshirted May birthday.  No matter what you do about redshirting, you will have a 14 year old in a high school with 18 year olds.[/quote]
