[quote=Anonymous]I have been doing a lot of online "research" (reading DCUM) into this and people are all over the place. One poster on another thread claimed kids should be reading chapter books before starting K. If that is the expectation, red shirting makes a lot of sense - most just-turned 5yos are not reading chapter books so you'd be setting up a summer kid starting on time to be behind before formal schooling has even started. Also it seems like the schools encourage the practice in some cases. But there is a subset of parents who seem very aggressively against it, and I wonder if their communication of that attitude to their children would cause red shirted kids to have a more negative experience among certain peers.[/quote]
