[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been doing a lot of online "research" (reading DCUM) into this and people are all over the place. [i][/i][b]One poster on another thread claimed kids should be reading chapter books before starting K. [/b]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] I can't speak for privates, but no public school expects this. They aren't even independently reading chapter books in school by the end of K. [/quote]
