[quote=Anonymous]I don't have a summer boy, but if I did, I probably would have redshirted him only because everyone else would have, too. I do have a summer girl that I did not redshirt, and when everyone starts with the but-girls-are-different rhetoric I have to suppress my eye rolls. I don't think girls (or at least, certainly not all girls) are naturally more mature and thus ready to handle K at a younger age. I think it is more likely that we worry more about boys being immature than we do about girls. Ultimately, I think the onus needs to be on the schools to enforce an age cut-off date, whatever that may be. Now April boys are the youngest, and soon parents of those kids are going to start redshirting, and the pattern will continue. Parents will always make the best decision for their own kids, but schools will make the best decision for the collective group.[/quote]
