[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again - redshirting has nothing to do with K-5. It matters when kids hit puberty. Talk to your middle school counselors as they see the effects of redshirting at that stage. When will your kid hit their growth spurts effects almost everything they do from age 12 to 18. [/quote] I’ve been a middle school teacher for 15 years. Puberty hits at different times. My reaction to a tall/mature 7th grader has never been “must have been redshirted.” It’s usually just “wow, that kid is tall” or “wow, that kid is mature for a 7th grade boy.” I do sometimes check out birthdays if a kid seems really immature and they are often on the younger side, though.[/quote]
