[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are you people so hung up on this? I have a first grader and have no clue when her classmates’ birthdays are or their exact age, nor do I care.  Same thing in kinder.  Just mind your own business and focus on your own child and family[/quote]

Only the crazy people are hung up on it. I have a young spring birthday kid and I can’t imagine thinking the way some of these anti-redshirters do. I don’t view kindergarten as some sort of educational Thunderdome the way the anti-redshirters do. [/quote]

Apparently, you do view kindergarten as some sort of educational thunderdome as well as the redshirters. Otherwise, there would be no redshirters. [/quote]

I didn’t redshirt. One of my kids is a young spring birthday. I fail to see how I see kindergarten as an educational Thunderdome when I don’t care what anyone else does, whether they redshirt or not. Maniacally keeping tabs on the ages of everyone in the class is the purview of the crazy competitive anti-redshirters, not the rest of us.

But in any event, thanks for adding to the overwhelming evidence that the anti-redshirters are nuts. [/quote]
