Forced to group? Oh the humanity! Go with the group you are supposed to be with. Isn’t that the entire point of the anti redshirters? I have a late summer birthday kid and he has friends in both grades. He has never complained about this grave injustice. Maybe your kid needs help with social skills.[/quote]

I think you are being willfully obtuse.

If different activities have different cut offs, then some kids will be grouped with one cohort for one activity (school for example) and a different group for a different activitiy (Swimming or hockey for example)

So going with "the one you are supposed to be with" puts some people in a position of having different groups, or not being able to participate with their friends.[/quote]

You are being willfully difficult. Your snowflakes doesn’t always get what they want. Camps and teams often split kids up anyway. Teach your kids to be flexible and resilient. Thought they were too smart and mature to even contemplate redshirting. You sure abut that?  [/quote]

When the kids cannot be together because one set of parents started "on time" and another set of parents redshirted, then it is manufactured, and causing an unneccsary social rift.[/quote]

So camps are following grade level or birthdays? PP is complaining about birthday cutoffs different from school cut offs. That has nothing to do with redshirting.if the camp used grade then PP would have no problem.[/quote]
