[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]

NP. Nope. I redshirted my child because I wanted him to be in the best position to learn. Not to win at kindergarten. You seem to be against redshirting because you feel like it puts your little darling at  a competitive disadvantage. You definitely win the Thunderdome prize.

Learning is not a finite resource. That’s why the schools give you the flexibility to start your kid when you feel they are most ready to learn, because the end goal is not to win - it’s for them to absorb the curriculum and learn. [/quote]
