[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite a few children at our NWDC public school have to re-do 4th grade when they start at STA and NCS (maybe at other schools too). Seems very odd but it also suggests that it is school-driven rather than (entirely) parent-driven. Also, to the extent that some redshirting is intended to give kids an advantage in sports, it seems that the sports teams/clubs could eliminate this issue by forming teams based on birthdate rather than by school year. Even schools teams could do this - for ex., must have a birthdate within such and such to qualify for varsity, jv, etc. There are always solutions. Again, it sounds like the schools might be driving this re: sports b/c the solution would be so easy. [/quote] Sorry but they shouldn't be accepted into the school. If they arent fit for the grade they are entering, they need to let the children in that are ready. My guess is that it is the legacy kids and money is at play, right? [/quote]
