[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the boys I know with August and September birthdays have parents who are planning to red-shirt them. [b]I think in my circle, the deciding factor is money. If you easily have the $15K to keep your kid in private preschool/pre-K for another year, you red-shirt. [/b] My single mom friends are all starting their kids on time. my daughter misses the deadline for K by 3 weeks and it pisses me off. She'd be ready for Kindergarten this year (and I'd love to stop spending the tuition money), but no luck. Oh well.[/quote] That seems bizarre. We clearly travel in very different circles. I don't know anyone who's red-shirted a kid just because they had the extra $15K, and we certainly didn't, and don't plan to again.[/quote]
