[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a redshirted kid with a September birthday. He's a math whiz, by which I mean he is a grade ahead in math, and gets pulled into the next grade up for math lessons.

His parents think his math aptitude is confirmation that redshirting was the right choice.

Others might argue that the fact this kid has to move up a grade for math, to the grade he would have been in had he not been redshirted, is proof his redshirting was not needed.

Still others will argue this whole scenario is an argument against grades, that we should all adopt the Montessori practice if multi age classrooms.[/quote]

No need to hold him back. What is a math wiz? [b]They should be doing mvc or linear algebra for graduation.  [/b]He’s not ahead, he’s on target.  He’d be ahead if he were younger.  Are you talking about an elementary kid?   You do know it’s normal now to start algebra in 6 or 7th. [/quote]

Some high schools don’t offer those classes.[/quote]

Correct, ours does not and yet we managed to figure it out, so why couldn’t you. [/quote]
