[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically every kid at my child's preschool that is being redshirted has no real reason to be. They are big, perfectly academically and socially prepared. The parents just wanted advantage. I agree with OP that there need to be stricter rules. A vague claim of immaturity is not enough.[/quote]

Why isn't the parental claim of immaturity not enough? Do you think that you are a better judge of the child's maturity than the child's parent? Also, why do you care? If you think that it actually gives the child an advantage, then you, too, have the option to redshirt. Or, if you think that it doesn't give the child an advantage, then it really shouldn't matter to you at all if a different parent makes a choice for their child that you personally disagree with.[/quote]

You are obviously so determined to defend your choice to red shirt that you're missing the point of the thread. I'm not the OP by the way. The point is that a - immaturity isn't necessarily a reason that children should be allowed to get an extra year before K and b - a lot of parents don't actually believe their child is immature – they just don't want them to be one of the youngest. Where does it end? Soon we will have 25-year-old high school seniors with parents bragging that they outdid the 17-year-olds.[/quote]
