[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody with a brain wants their kid to be the youngest so this is a game that always has losers.[/quote] I dont understand this attitude. Why would you want your kid to be the oldest? They will learn nothing in a class full of children a year behind them. [/quote] DS was born days before the cut off, and we held him. He is not in a class full of children a year behind him. He’s simply on the older end of a class of children born over an approximately 14 month time period. There are a couple of kids older in his grade who are more than a month older than he is, several kids who also have August birthdays, several kids one month younger, several kids two months younger, and so on. And yes, there is ONE child who is a full year younger than he is. In the vast majority of cases, redshirting does not result in a child being placed in “a class full of children a year behind them.” It simply results in them being on the older end of the age distribution instead of at the very youngest end.[/quote]
