[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who are competitive enough to worry about whether other kids are redshirted don't send their kids to Montessori schools.[/quote]

I just think it is “rich” that the pro redshirters are calling the anti-redshirters competitive. [/quote]

It's true, though. Anti-redshirters are upset that their children are at some imagined competitive disadvantage - although, paradoxically, many also pay lipservice to believing that redshirting impairs development. It's never been clear to me whether this is just a lack of logic or a cynical attempt to pretend that what they believe is in their own self-interest (no redshirting) is also in the interests of the children who would otherwise be redshirted.

They're the ones doing the comparing, not the redshirting parents. If everyone just made decisions based on what's best for their own kid, and didn't worry about what everyone else was doing, there would be none of this ridiculousness.

Yet you’re the one with 100s of posts here and in the independent schools board harping about how you held back your kids and everyone should shut up and smile.[/quote]
