[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And my 9/25 kid started on time and is thriving. No kids in her class were held back and she is one of a handful with September birthdays. I think redshirting is more about a specific DC demographic than "this area."[/quote] That's because you can't red shirt for Pk. Wait till k when all the 6.5 year olds show up. [/quote] This doesn't happen. Showing up for K as a 6.5-year-old would mean that the parents held back a child with a Feb or March birthday. My early May birthday son is at a competitive NW DC private school, started on time as he should, and there are literally NO children in his grade who are more than a full year older than he is. There were, however, a small handful of late-summer-birthday boys who were red-shirted, meaning that they started K having just turned 6. There are also a few with late summer birthdays who started on time, having just turned 5. It's not really that big of a deal.[/quote]
