[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public education is not set up well for boys, and in my opinion, it is fair to red-shirt boys.  We know many boys on medicine and who have behavior problems in my sons grade.  I'm  sure some parents may judge our red shirting decision, but it was the right decision at the time, plus our kid was born 6 weeks early.[/quote]

Honestly, there are a few loud crazies here, but in the real world nobody cares.

My kid has one friend who is much older. I suspect it’s because he was out of school a lot when he was younger due to medical issues related to a birth defect. I never asked his parents because it’s none of my business. Know what? The kids know he’s older, but nobody cares. He doesn’t get teased. No one thinks he’s stupid. Because, once again, kids are smarter than adults. He’s a great kid and I’m glad he’s part of my kid’s class.

My kid was inadvertently redshirted due to a move then un-redshirted due to another move. DC is a teen now and DC says was never teased, etc. for being older when redshirted or for being younger when not. The bizarre fantasy world of the anti-redshirt posters lives wholly in their sad heads.

On average DC liked being among the oldest a bit more, but it wasn't a strong preference and is fine now in HS where DC isn't redshirted. It was not a big deal one way or the other.[/quote]
