It's not a parent's business in that they need to know *why* a child was redshirted, I agree.  But, it is a parent's business to know that your child may be  in a class where a lot of the kids could be more than 1 yr older than your child as this may impact your child's learning and social environment in class.[/quote]

It's a parent's business to know that? No, I don't think so. If you want to know whether it's possible that your kid will be in a class where a lot of the classmates are more than 1 year older, that's fine --  look up your district's age and attendance requirements, or ask your child's school about their policy if you're in private school. But if you don't feel the need to do that, there is certainly no parental obligation to know.

Meanwhile, both whether and why a particular child was redshirted is nobody else's business.[/quote]

And yet, I know which of my DC's classmates were redshirted, but not why. Possibly they all had cancer, but I suspect most were for the usual reasons, immaturity and to gain an advantage.[/quote]
