[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP and don’t approve or disapprove but I do think February is kind of ridiculous. It’s not even within 6 months. I always thought redshirting was for the 3 months before the school cut off. That was my understanding. We have a Sep1 cut off. [/quote]

Ok but that’s not a real rule, it’s something you made up.

Honestly this all sounds like sour grapes that you wish you’d made a different choice— but you still can. Start your kid again in private school, they will require you to be one year later they wont start a June bday. [/quote]

DP but I agree with OP -- a 3 month wind for redshirting makes sense to me, but redshirting a February birthday is insane. I would absolutely judge this and be annoyed if my kid wound up in class with a kid who was a year and a half older as a result.

Obviously not everyone can afford private or even has access to them -- high quality private schools are not a thing everywhere. We used to live in an area where the only private schools were highly religious. It was really public or nothing, which makes the stakes for how redshirting rules/guidelines are enforced higher than in a place with more school choice.[/quote]
