[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. What should I do then? Public? I don’t think we have a choice. Should I fight the school about this? I don’t think I want to get on their bad side…[/quote]

I would find another school rather than redshirt him.  However, since you have a relationship with the school and like it enough to send your other kids there, I would talk with the school about why they feel redshirting is appropriate. If the school has a specific developmental concern, maybe you could address that in some other way (e.g. speech therapy, OT, etc.).

I will definitely say that we are willing to hire tutors or whatever is needed. I am not sure it will change their mind. Son is doing speech therapy already for some mild issues[/quote]

What’s the harm in redshirting? DS has two spring redshirts in his class. [/quote]

This kid will turn 18 during his junior year of HS. That sounds really old to me. If there were some reason he isn’t ready for K then it is worth redshirting but not just so a school can maximize its profits. [/quote]
