Maybe if people didn't redshirt, the younger part of the class wouldn't feel so anxious.

Once again - the prevalence of redshirting is around 3.5% in the most recent studies.  This means that 1 or no children will be likely to be redshirted in your child's classroom.  Personally I know for my boy's concerns, the presence of one child who was 12-15 months older wouldn't make a difference.  [/quote]

There are 4 in my child's MCPS 1st grade class of 24. That is a tad more than 3%.

we have 4 in a class of 19[/quote]

In our class of 25, about 12 were redshirted/had late birthdays. [/quote]

Late birthdays isn't redshirting.  They're just late birthdays. The school district sets rules about how old you have to be to start K.  Parents are expected to follow those rules.  If your kid has a fall  or early winter birthday, you don't really have a choice about starting school when they are almost 6.  Don't lump those kids in with kids whose parents made a choice to start late.  The school district says that kids with late birthdays aren't ready. [/quote]
