[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son begged me to redshirt him and I said no. But most people I know are willing to cheat the system this way.[/quote] How is it cheating the system. The parental waiver is built into the law - at least in VA. The system is designed that way because [b]sometimes kids are not ready[/b]. It’s actually really sad that your kid begged you to redshirt and you ignored him. You would have been well within your rights as a parent to do so. [/quote] Yes, this is where the cheating comes in. The intent is to provide an exception for kids with delays, social-emotional challenges, etc. But in reality, many (usually upper middle class/wealthy) parents use it to ensure their normally developing kids have an advantage—size, academics, athletics—over their peers. They’re very open about it! That’s cheating. [/quote]
