Is it just so your kid has advantages socially and athletically and breezes through? [/quote]

This is actually why we were tempted to redshirt our September-born son. However, we ultimately decided that it wouldn't be kosher and to put in the work required for him to succeed. I honestly just assume that any parent who redshirts is too lazy to do any studying with their kid, find tutors for them, send them to enrichment programs, etc. Every single day, including weekends, I make my son sit down with me and together we go over all his school material. Before the pandemic, he was going to Mathnasium(a math-only-learning center) 3 times a week, including summers, except for the periods in which he was going to the science camp we had enrolled him at. Yeah, it would be a lot easier if he was just breezing through and we didn't have to do anything to help him, but I think that this is the kind of work parents should have to put in if they want their kid to be successful.[/quote]
