[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]

Yeah this really isn’t an issue about a system not working. It’s a parent who isn’t happy with the decision they made for their child. [/quote]

We went by the guidelines of the school. February is 7 months before the cut off. People take advantage of the system to give their kids an individual advantage. That’s really the issue. [/quote]

Every single parent should be taking advantage of those opportunities that give their kid an advantage. Why in the world wouldn’t you. [/quote]
