[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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. [/b] 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] Most sensible post in 15 pages.[/quote]
