[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's what we call tough ****. Besides, parents who have fall kids in areas with a September cut-off should really try to get theirs kids tested in early. I disagree with anything but a calendar cut-off. A September cut-off is just too early and really random. Ideally, you want all the students to be born in the same year.

Why do you care what someone else chooses to do?  I did not redshirt my kids, but I would have considered it if they weren't ready.   
I think most of the kids redshirted are only a month or two older than the cutoff.  I taught K, and I really never noticed that it was a problem.  Most people don't redshirt kids who are ready.  And, no, it doesn't mean they are dumb or have learning disabilities.  It just means they are immature.  And, that is a real thing.
You don't know what a child has been through.  Certainly, a child who was born two months early is going to have different challenges than one who was at full term.  Does that mean he needs to be redshirted?  Depends on the kid.  You also don't know what other issues may have occurred in the child or his family.  [/quote]

Don't bother. The previous PP is obviously not able to understand higher order thinking and it will distress her.[/quote]

Try to ask the redshirt-haters to do basic math. It’s hilarious.
