[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again with words. Words mean things. If your child "needed" redshirting.......based on what? Parental determination means nothing without credentials.  [/quote]

Not PP, but I KNOW my child better than a specialist and better than you. She will be redshirted because I want to save her from being left alone with none to play with. My child does not have special needs that need to be diagnosed by a specialist, but she is very sensitive and absolutely needs to fit in and have friends. Older girls usually don’t want to play with her and she is left out. Same age or younger girls always play with her and she is SO MUCH HAPPIER. That’s all I need for me to redshirt (since I am allowed to do so)[/quote]

She sounds exactly like the type of kid who should be redshirted.  I've said it before on here--SN kids or "slow" kids are not the ones who benefit.  It is a maturity issue--and, contrary to our anti-redshirting parent on here--there is such a thing as maturity.  And, it is not a reflection of poor parenting or lack of intelligence.

And, how do I know?  Years of teaching Kindergarten and First Grade.

I think the anti-redshirter must have a kid that was advised to redshirt and she chose not to do so.
