[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in a DC private elementary school. We redshirted my eldest daughter born 7 days before cutoff. She has never been the oldest in her class. Most July and August birthday kids are redshirted. Lots of June birthdays too… some Mays. I have heard of 1 April kid that was redshirted and one February girl that was held back at some point (not sure which grade). I worry the school will suggest we redshirt my March birthday boy born in March. In his case, it would be to make sure he is ready academically for K. I would still not want to do it. If your son is ready academically, I would not hold him back. He would be the oldest (by a lot) and it’s never good to stand out amongst classmates.[/quote]
