[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why anyone would want to delay their child's education by one full year if the child was otherwise normal. It seems to be more of a thing among parents who recognize their children have some behavior problems and cognitive issues. It that case, I sincerely hope simply redshirting is enough to solve the problem. Though I think in many cases it would be better to start school on time and get outside support with the behavior and learning disabilities.[/quote] I redshirted one of my boys for social reasons. He’s not completely in step with his peers, but he’s less behind, socially, than he would have been. I’d weed sent him on time, he would have been even more rejected than he already is. It had nothing to do with academics. We sent our April boy on time, and he’s doing very well.[/quote]
