[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a very heavy redshirt area. We moved from DC right before kinder. My son is June and his grade is very old. I just found out two more friends are now being held back. He’s incoming first. One has a Feb bday and the other March. Our cut off date is Sep1. They are struggling with reading but the gap is just becoming very large for the kids on time. This is a public school. Right now even with June he’s the youngest boy in the grade. When we started I actually asked admin these questions and they weren’t honest about it and said most went on time born in summer. Once we started I realized almost everyone from March on redshirted so he’s significantly younger. He’s doing fine but I wish the school was honest about it prior to starting as he’s made friends now so it would be a big transition to do it now. [/quote]

NP. It is always so interesting how DCUMs anti-redshirt posters find themselves living in school districts that are so statistically aberrant from national norms. Quite a unique thing, this unusual ability to land squarely in places that are standard deviations of the norm. [/quote]
