[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't realize MCPS was allowing parents to hold their child back. Is that something you request at the school level with the principal?[/quote]

No.  It’s just that some kids with summer birthdays who would have gone on time didn’t.   You can’t tell the principal you want to wait until your kid is seven to start kindergarten.  [/quote]

Red shirting has always been a thing especially in the wealthier parts of Montgomery county where families can afford an extra year of preschool and are prone to helicopter parenting worries.

I predicted back in 2020 that we were going to see a lot more redshirted kindergarteners in the 2021-22 year. My daughter's kinder cohort was originally 9 but then classes the school had to get rid of two kindergarten teachers due to declining enrollment and then this year they ended up with 9 classes of kindergarteners. I am  really am glad we sucked it up and put my daughter in kindergarten in 2020 and now she's in a much smaller grade cohort [/quote]
