[quote=Anonymous]I’m a former elementary teacher and I would say that the reason you don’t hear teachers weighing in on redshirting is because it’s not something they care about. Redshirting is not problematic for the schools. As a pp said, someone has to be the youngest or oldest, which is true so why would the schools really care? Redshirting is a big topic among parents, but I don’t ever recall hearing any teachers discussing. In fact, I would guess most teachers don’t even know when their students’ birthdays are. I had a chart with the kids birthdays in my classroom and would give them a little present, but I never made a mental note of it, such as oh this kid’s an older one. That being said, I never taught below 2nd grade so it’s quite possible that kindergarten teachers might know and give significance to when the kid’s birthdays are, but again I don’t ever recall hearing it discussed.
