[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm at a school where they redshirted 2 boys in preK. Neither has any kind of learning disability, etc. I asked. It's ridiculous looking at them because they are nearly a head taller than their peers. If I had a son I surely wouldn't want him in there with these little men. I just hope they aren't bored and disrupt the other kids. [/quote]

Typical of posters who are similarly [b]overly[/b] concerned about the race, ethnicity, religion, kids with genetic defects (e.g., trisomy 21), SES, and gender of the kids their children attend school with.  Simple minds loaded with preconceived notions.

Your post makes no sense, and your reference to trisomy 21 is just random and bizarre.

The original post was on target! Why do you assume it is a demographic issue? No one mentioned race, religion or any of that. This is about the age of Kindergarten entry. Trisomy 21 and SES don't apply here. The 7 year-old Kindergarden kid is going to feel stupid when he realizes how much older he is by third grade. Not only is he going to think he is stupid, his peers will too. I hear my friends and neighbors saying "Oh he is not ready." and "He is not book smart." That is so sad to me.

Don't pretend you don't know it is true.
