[quote=Anonymous]By late elementary school, how do you distinguish between kids who were redshirted and those who were held back? I always assume that if there is a year ahead birthday party in my child's class that the child was held back or was really behind and couldn't start elementary school on time. But we are in DC publics where redshiting is rare. I'd never talk about it with my child because I wouldn't want her to apply any stigma to a child who repeated a grade. My brother repeated 3rd grade and didn't face any stigma for it, at least none he ever talked or compalined about. But if parents are so hyper focused on age, I could see this being an issue for a child repeating a grade. [/quote]
