[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The redshirt debate is so dumb. The advantages are highly exaggerated. No one is going to think your kid is super smart because they repeated a grade. And your kid may feel self conscious and embarrassed by being older than everyone else for the rest of their time in school (not to mention being incredibly bored having to repeat a grade). [/quote]

Lol no. The only people who have a problem are people like OP who think they made a mistake or missed out. It’s all upside for redshirters.[/quote]

I’ve seen it go sideways in athletics with kids who were used to cruising by being the stars in elementary and when some of the younger kids came out ahead post puberty they struggled not being the best on the team and didn’t have the grit and work ethic to keep up and dropped altogether. I saw that even in 4/5 grade when kids started evening out. [/quote]

Elementary athletics go by their own cutoff rules. Not relevant at all.[/quote]

Our area is done by grade [/quote]

What area does all sports by grade?[/quote]
