[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks should probably share the income level of your neighborhood/school when weighing in on this.  Redshirting is less common among families where it's a big deal to save the money on an extra year of child care.  But OP is planning to move to Potomac so I doubt that's an issue there.[/quote]

Definitely true but even near DTSS redshirting is very common as there are plenty of middle class and UMC people who do it.[/quote]

No, its not.  And, MCPS needs to stop allowing it.  I don't know anyone who did it.  If OP has delays she needs a new preschool as they aren't meeting his needs and get him into private services.[/quote]

Sorry, it IS common at our DTSS school.  My kid in second grade has tons of friends with summer birthdays and they are 50/50 younger versus older.  My child in kindergarten, I don’t know the class as well yet but there is at least one summer red shirt I’m aware of.  I’d be surprised if there aren’t more.  At my kids’ preschool, there were multiple examples.[/quote]

No, it’s not common at all.  And, something is wrong with your preschool if they have that many kids who need held back.  [/quote]

I am starting to think you are either from a very poor neighborhood or possibly you just don’t know your friends’ kids.

I actually don’t like redshirting very much.  I think it creates inequity.  It very clearly happens a lot here.  Just a factual answer for OP.[/quote]
