[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if some of the angst of the anti redshirters is economic. Academic redshirting is done by those who can afford it if they see the need. People who can't afford another year of childcare may feel bitter about this. [/quote]

So what if it is? The angst of actual redshirters is economic as well? They want to advantage their own children by giving them an extra year[/quote]
Shrug. They advantage their kids in many ways. Private tutors, private lessons, elite camps, pricey extracurriculars. That's why people want to be rich... So they can afford what money can buy. [/quote]

Okay... but that's not an argument as to whether they should be doing it or not.  [/quote] Sure it is. It's allowed, and they can afford it. They shouldn't have to defend it anymore than they should have to defend paying for private music lessons. [/quote]

Again, just because something's allowed doesn't mean we should allow it or that it's a good thing.  [/quote] Cool, sounds like an argument for socialism. Good luck with that. You should also be rude to parents who pay for extracurriculars and tutors because it's "unfair." Sounds like something an immature girl would do. [/quote]

Nice debate skills.  SOCIALISM!  No one has implied in this thread that parents should not give their kids advantages. This is about one specific kind of advantage and whether that specific advantage is proper or not.  [/quote]

And they redshirted want todo it o. The public dime.   They don’t want to move.  They don’t want tutors.   They don’t want people who see children across a span to tell them their kid is ready:   The psychopath here who screams about other kids with IEPs is much more likely than not making fun of a child with actual, provable SNs or delays, but she has no ethics anyway, so.
