[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about letting parents decide whats best for their kids? Redshirt if you want to, instead of following some arbitrary rule and cut off. I dont really understand what the fuss is all about.[/quote]

You realize schools and the district are not catering to one parent they have to balance an entire ecosystem of families. If every family wants to redshirt that's a nightmare for admin and at best leaves teachers with kids who could be possibly 18 months apart which is not how classes are equipped outside of Montessori.

Like public health and the idea of letting everyone make their own choices, we exist in a society and there are typically rules and systems to make society work for as many people as possible.[/quote]

Oh no, the society will implode because some families want to send their kids to school when they are a bit more mature! A nightmare for school admins and teachers!

Of all the privilege in education you’re focusing on this, not on 50k a year private schools, expensive extracurriculars, tutors for everything, college admissions consultants, legacy admissions etc. The issue is the kid that couldn’t sit still more than 5 min in pre K and was held back a year by a worried parent.[/quote]

Oh good grief. I see we're to the Lafayette parents are actually the civil rights trailblazers portion of this fight.[/quote]
