[quote=Anonymous] https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/604978/0209_CarolineSharp_et_al_RelativeAgeReviewRevised.pdf This literature review looked at relative age affect and found that the youngest in the age group where disadvantaged in several areas. Redshirting shifts and exacerbates real active age affect . I think that the best solution is to have 6 month age cohorts until middle or high school along with year long schooling to allow a rolling admission. Let Kindergarten entry be open to kids after their 5th birthday but not after their 6th. As an only child I loved school for the social interaction so my parents enrolled me as soon as my school allowed it. redshirting isn’t something that everyone desires so have that flexibility to allow all options so that parents can do what they feel best meets their individual kids needs.[/quote]
