[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First rule of good parenting is not to skew things to your kid's advantage. Parents who redshirt are (attempting to) do just that. It's the only reason they do it. It is a red flag re: what kind of people they are.

-of course not talking about SN here.[/quote]

Look, here's the thing about SNs: it's not like the kids are born with a magic diagnosis certificate. You don't know and there are often years of not knowing. It has taken me years to get a definitive diagnosis for one of my kids. Years after K, I will note.

The rigid jerks on this thread live in a world where it's easy to scream don't redshirt except if there are diagnosed SNs, and are generally the blindly privileged types who have no actual idea what it's like to live in a district with limited SN support and a kid who defies easy diagnosis. They are selfish, self-absorbed types who are clearly obsessed with college admissions. Meanwhile I am hoping this year will be okay.

You are one of them. Just admit it.[/quote]
