[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The situation is very simple. I am sure there are pros and cons of redshirting. The parents that redshirt think the pros outweigh the costs for their children. 
People bashing the redshirting parents are jealous and regret their own decision to not redshirt. The ones that are happy with the decision to send their child ontime could not care less if there are kids that are 12 or 14 months older than their kids.
Stop being jealous, stop trying to make other people feel bad when they are trying to what’s best for their children, just stop. Own your own decision and be happy with YOUR situation.

Bingo! But people certainly have sour grapes, thus a 37 page DCUM redshirting thread every other month.[/quote]

I think it’s more that redshirting parents are defensive/embarrassed...[/quote]

What? Where? Reading comprehension is not your thing I see. Redshirting parents are attacked all the time for “gaming the system” for being “entitled” for doing “bad” to society?

They are defending themselves against being bad mouthed by the anti-redshirting (i.e. parents that wished they redshirted so their kids would not be the youngest in the class)[/quote]

Multiple parents have said their children are doing fine as the youngest. That’s the whole point. What would they be jealous of?  [/quote]
