[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am convinced that she’s annoyed her kid is “behind” some older classmate and she can’t get beyond it. [/quote] What's annoying is when the older kids are rewarded for outperforming the younger kids. Why should someone be rewarded for an accomplishment that was inevitable? [/quote] Older kids don't always outperform younger kids. My older kid is near the bottom of her class. Some of the younger ones are the stars. [/quote] It’s totally dependent on the child. The only one of our kids with a redshirt eligible birthday is bright, easy socially, and he’s 99th percentile in height. We love that he’s younger because life is too easy for him. Two of my other kids would have benefited from redshirting (one academically, one socially). Just do what’s best for your child. [/quote]
