[quote=Anonymous][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] I guess during your time as a teacher you NEVER met a child who was helped by redshirting :roll: There should be no exceptions to rules because all kids are the same. Glad you are a FORMER teacher.[/quote] My issue with this former teacher's statement is that she wants us to stay "within the guidelines"- what guidelines? if you're 5 by 9/30 must go to school- but then you have some exceptions and then simple redshirting- so the system allowed major loose decisions before age 5 but - oh no- if you are 2 day past that date- well, we have that date for a reason. The "guidelines" should be a lot firmer on the other end to prevent this huge age discrepancy in grades. [/quote]
