[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it DOES come down to not wanting your child to be the youngest in the class. It always comes through in the end on these threads[/quote]

Nope. The only people who say they don’t want their kids to be the youngest are the anti-redshirters.

23:37 was just pointing out that the PP was a jerk.

This is totally illogical. Our kids ARE the youngest if we didn’t redshirt. [/quote]

To further clarify - we are saying we would like them be the youngest by one year but not more than that. [/quote]

+1.  My daughter started PK3 in DCPS at age 2 (Sept. bday) and it's been fine.  She's now a 2nd grader.  I don't mind her being the youngest in a 12-month range--she has a couple of friends a year older, and she'll just have to work hard to keep up with older kids physically and academically.  What would be a little tough is if she were the youngest in an 18 or 24-month span.  This is all hypothetical though, as I only know one kid who is redshirted (and only missed the cutoff by a few days, so he's still basically 12 months older).[/quote]
