[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Red shirting does your child no favors. Kids learn not only from the teacher but from their peers. Do us a favor and stay within the guidelines. They are there for a reason. Signed, A former teacher [/quote] How is it not "within the guidelines" to send a child at age 6 when legally required instead of at age 5 when permitted. I made my decision after specific discussions with the school counselor who took no position on the decision other than to tell me to do what I thought best for my son. Although these "red-shirting" threads love to suggest that age 6 is somehow skirting the rules, it isn't. It is a personal decision that is entirely contemplated by the rules and supported by many educators.[/quote]
