[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's cheating because its something only UMC people can afford to do. Think the working class can afford another year of daycare to hold Larla back from Kindergarten? Nope.[/quote]

Just like tutoring, language classes, private schools, and piano lessons[/quote]

Exactly. That's why the anti-redshirt people on DCUM are such raging hypocrites. Also add buying houses in expensive districts, attending any charters whatsoever, and leaving their inbound school for middle school to the list. Those last have far more impact on the education gap than redshirting yet somehow I don't think DCUMs resident anti-redshirt hypocrites are willing to practice what they angrily preach and demand that others do.

Okay thats great that you feel this moral outrage, but again, statistically, the redshirted kids ARE coming from expensive districts and going to charters and privates and leaving IB schools. That is the issue that you seem incapable of even considering and I don't understand why?[/quote]

Not the PP you were responding to, but what you don’t seem to grasp is that you can’t treat redshirting as immoral because not every parents can afford an extra year of daycare. If this is your logic then we should also say that any extra that parents pay out of pocket is immoral as well. How many kids can take yearly trips to Europe? How many kids can have extra curricular activities and summer camps that are expensive? Maybe we should just move to a communist country where everyone is the same and therefore can give the same to their kids.[/quote]
