AGAIN, many children are 6 for almost the entire Kindergarten year. [/quote]
My DD turns 6 in October and will be 6 the whole year of K[/quote]

Exactly. Mine too. People are getting wound up about kids who are literally only a few months older than the Fall birthday kids. [/quote]
Probably because their kids have spring or early summer birthdays and they don’t want THEIR own kids to be the youngest... the hypocrisy on DCUM is astounding...[/quote]

I disagree with redshirting on principal, unless there is a medical or developmental reason documented by a doctor or teacher.  FWIW I have two kids, one with a birthday the first week of October and another with a birthday in late September.  They both started school with their grade according to the cut-off dates.  Even though that means they are a year apart in school (but they are nearly 2 years apart in age).  [/quote]
