[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember that if you redshirt, you'll have an 18 year old adult to get through senior year of high school.  [/quote]

Oh stop. Seniors are 18 now starting in Sept/October senior year anyway, Rip Van Winkle.[/quote]

Very few.  I'd be embarrassed to hold my child back.  But, I'd rather set them up to succeed vs. hold them back and hope that fixes things.[/quote]

Eh, there's nothing embarassing about redshirting. Everyone wants to give their kids advantages in life.[/quote]

There are plenty of ways to give your kids advantages but holding back isn't one of them.  Use that extra preschool money to pay for graduate school.[/quote]

I would also hate to waste his wonderful sharp brain and prevent him from learning for a whole year. Why would I want to dumb down my kid? [/quote]

Then don't do it. And let other people decide for themselves. You are not everybody.[/quote]

The kids don't get to decide and that's who it impacts.  [/quote]

Oh well, kids don't get a lot of say about their lives. This is just another choice their parents make for them.[/quote]
