[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think egregious redshirting (not august -I’m talking March-June) is selfish and a sad way to try and get an advantage. 
 That said, it rarely works.  
The less smart kids are still less smart. 
The poor athlete are still poor athletes.  
I have three kids st a private school with lots of redshirting.

My kids are among the youngest in their grades.  It no longer bothers me because now they are in HS and the kids redshirted cause they were not smart are still not smart. It doesn’t help. [/quote]

Wow, this is really terrible.  So many assumptions.  I was held back, not redshirted, had to repeat a grade.  I went onto to a great college and grad school and have a wonderful career.  People on this board are viscous and miserable.  Some kids really do need more time physically and emotionally to develop.  I have multiple kids some of whom are young, middle of the road, and older for their grade.  Each child is where they should be.  Your kids may be "smarter" pp but based on your comments if they follow in your footsteps they certainly will be or are unkind and short sighted--doesn't help in the game of life.  [/quote]
