[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't typically redshirt because of academic concerns.  They redshirt because of social concerns.  Don't worry, nobody is trying to show up your little Larla.  [/quote]
That's fine, but then don't complain that it's not challenging enough.  That is really annoying.

I agree with you OP.[/quote]

Well, try to have a little sympathy.  I'm the mom of a (very tall, very verbal and bright) boy who might have to be redshirted for behavioral/maturity/social issues.  Do you think I like having to chose between his social adjustment and his academic challenge?  If I didn't redshirt him I am POSITIVE you'd be on here complaining about the "weird kid" or the "aggressive kid" that would as a result be bothering your Larlita. [/quote]

I think OP and PP are both trying to say that if you choose to redshirt, that's fine, it's your choice. But if you do, you do so knowing that either academically or socially (if you're redshirting for cognitive reasons) your child is most likely ahead of what they're working on in kindergarten. It's kind of like ordering cake and being mad that it has sugar - you knew what you were getting into, deal with it. No one made you redshirt.[/quote]
