[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most kids would feel insulted if they were redshirted; like their parents thought they weren't smart enough to be on a normal schedule.[/quote] I know my son would. He'd be embarrassed to tell other people how old he was turning.[/quote] Doesn't this depend on the kid's birthday? My kid wasn't redshirted but gets upset that she is always the youngest. She gets left out of summer camps with age cutoffs and plays down a level in team sports (the right age, but lower grade, so not with her classmates). It's very frustrating to her. If we lived in Maryland she'd be in the lower grade, but we're in Virginia with a Sept 30th cutoff. If anything, she's embarrassed by her birthday now because she doesn't like being the youngest.[/quote]
