[quote=Anonymous]Even though I haven’t read all 14 pages of this thread, I suspect it echoes the hundreds of pages about redshirting on other DCUM threads, so I will echo my responses to those. Kids are not widgets. They each have individual strengths and weaknesses, and will mature at different rates. They may be advanced in some areas, but have challenges in other areas - which are not your business to know, much less judge. In most cases redshirting is not a question of a “right” or “wrong” answer but balancing between two options, each with pros and cons. Moreover, education is not a zero sum game, where one student doing better means another student does worse. In fact, if a student’s behavior is disruptive, giving them another year to mature might be of great benefit to the rest of the class.[/quote]
