[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that in general redshirting kids outside of July and August birthdays is annoying and messing things up for everyone else. However, OP, your situation is different because of the weird school district cutoff. It makes zero sense for you to force your kid to compete nationally with a grade cohort a year older. Hold back, no question. In every Other school district in America yours would go a year later and it wouldn’t even be redshirting. Just a regular old fall birthday. New York is hurting kids by being out of step with the rest of the country on this.[/quote] Even in the 90s when red shirting wasn't as big of a thing, the spread of those born between October-December was split 50/50 between being the oldest and the youngest in the class because of people moving from out of state where the cutoff was earlier.
