[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]

Why do you care that they care? Are you insecure about your choices?[/quote]
Hmm, I guess I was caught up on reading a long thread and offered an observation. As for feeling insecure... I don't think so. I have not redshirted my kids because they were born in the middle of the year. It is interesting to see your hostility. [/quote]

OK but then you don’t need comment lol!!  You don’t understand what it’s like to have a not redshirted young for the grade kid. 
My oldest went on time with an August bday and while I’m largely over it now (he’s 9), it was hard seeing kids 15+ months older than him in his grade in the early years. 
Contrast that with my middle 2, Dec. and Jan. bdays - IDGAF about redshirting of other kids in their grades because 6-8 months older than them - that’s nothing compared to how much older the other kids were with DC1! [/quote]
