The prevalence of redshirting around here is baffling. The cutoff is what it is. Unless there is an educator telling you it might be best to wait, send your kid to school on schedule.[/quote]

Educators told us to wait due to immaturity issues. It was 100% the right call. [/quote]

That’s a made up reasons to keep you in their preschool longer. Can’t wait til it’s outlawed.[/quote]

They don’t need to ban it, they just need to do ALL testing by age (by birth month). That’s gifted testing, SATs, etc. And all school sports should also be done by age and not grade.

So basically let them sit in whatever classroom they want, and talk to those kids at lunch, but remove the more obvious unfair advantages.

I’m sure most redshirting parents will decide pretty fast that their kid doesn’t need to be redshirted after all.[/quote]

I decided to redshirt exactly for those lunch, play and class time... not because my kid would have an “advantage” with the school work[/quote]

If your kid needs lunch and play more than school at age 5, someone failed that child somewhere as at 5 they should be able to go to school and learn.

They should do all standardized testing by age. [/quote]
