[quote=Anonymous]If you redshirt your child you are doing a huge disservice to his self esteem. Maybe not in the younger grades but upper elementary every knows the red shirt kids. If you excel that is the reason. If you are middle of the pack, there is "not smart enough to fit in with peers his age" stigma. If you are bottom of the pack, most people start pointing fingers at parents as to why. If they are problematic, the entire parent population avoids your child like the plague as the big bully. It only gets worse once the kids know. Have faith in your child and the system. They have already brought back the cut-off date 4 months. Why are you cutting it off even more. Your kids can do it. If they can't the teachers will guide you and let you know. Be proactive. If you start redshirting your attack will always be the defense. And you will be anxious there is an issue even after red shirting and then what? [/quote]
