[quote=Anonymous]No One is complaining about the kids who really need it.  I think the complaints are about the ones who do not.  If you are familiar with Baltimore than you know that it is a policy to redshirt via pre-first.  Some schools have 50% of their k classes doing pre-first.  50% of a normal clas in a traditional (non learning difference) schools does not have developmental delays.  Also, when I spoke to several admissions people they will tell you that most of the kids that go onto pre-first are spring and summer birthdays.  Some of the spring and summer kids don't go to pre-first but it is very few just like some of the kids who have earlier birthdays get redshirted.  They also often say that kids are not being redshirted for academic reason and that some of their stronger students academically may end up in pre-first, it just depends.  Meaning it is very subjective.  I have also had them say that some parents ask for redshirting even though the school did not suggest or recommend it.
