[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a tough one. I imagine with all the red shirting, the class of 2034 will be much larger than 2033 with more competition for private school spots, sports, college etc.[/quote] This is why I’m leaning toward not red shirting my June birthday 5 year old. I think K class sizes are going to be huge next year and college admissions nationally will be much tougher for that graduating class.[/quote] Yes. And studies have shown that the redshirting advantage fades over time, so by senior year your child will not have an advantage due to age, just more competition for college, scholarships, internships, etc. I am planning to do some homeschooling instead of DL in the fall. My son has already begun reading, so I think he would be bored in Kindergarten in 2021/2022. I just don't want him staring at a screen for hours which is developmentally inappropriate.[/quote]
