[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve taught. After seeing many children over the years (more children than most non-educator parents will ever know) it’s been stark how asynchronous development is —intellectual, physical, and emotional. Periodic regressions are also quite real. If I see a behavior problem in the classroom, the first thing I do is check the birthdate to see if the child is young for his or her grade. After seeing how difficult things can be for these younger kids (more frequently discipline, trouble with abstract concepts), I’ve recommended to anyone I know well that they redshirt when possible.[/quote]

My MIL was a preschool teacher and my aunt is a K teacher. Both recommended we redshirt our DS with a July bday. With the likely chance that a lot of next year will be some mix of DL, we are sending him for another year of pre-K. [/quote]

Since you think that your son truly belongs in the grade behind, this means that you're not going to enroll him in any competitions such as valedictorian or class president, right?[/quote]

You are not making a strong case for the intelligence of DCUM's anti-redshirt posters.[/quote]
