[quote=Anonymous]From what I have seen, the end of school year date is the red line for "redshirting". Having "redshirted" and talked with many parents who considered the same, there is a great reluctance to hold back if the kid will turn the next age while still in school. Summer bdays are seen as the gray area. I think people like to focus on the one off examples of people holding back April or May bdays because it sounds more dramatic. You sound more fanatical going off about the kid with an Aug or Sept bday being held back though that is really mostly what we are talking about. Of all the kids I am aware of that were held back (probably over 20 across various sports teams and activities), the oldest hold backs I know are 2 kids with June bdays. I think these did actually fall in FCPS school year but parents probably felt they could fudge it. [/quote]
