[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It's kindergarten. Send your immature boy, he will have plenty of company. I mean this.[/quote]

Not necessarily true. Some kids aren't ready to sit still all day in a classroom with 20 other kids, being given group directions. K is really very academic now, tests using computers, worksheets, etc.

If some kids went, you would be complaining about the "annoying kid who disrupts class so the other snowflakes can't learn" [/quote]

So send your kid to private K and then to first grade.  That way they would have Kindergarten in a smaller setting with more play and recess.  To redshirt you would need to pay for another year of pre K or private K anyway.  Give your child that year in a smaller or possibly more nurturing environment and then send them on time with their age to first grade. [/quote]

Oh yes, I can just manifest an affordable and nurturing private K in my area and be granted admission automatically![/quote]
