[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m redshirting my July daughter [/quote]

Ditto.  She's 4 and my youngest child and she's not happy about that.   She's always the youngest in the class too and she's more immature.  Another year of childhood seems like a great gift to give her.[/quote]

She isn't less mature.  You are not comparing her to her actual peers and kids a year younger.  You are doing it for her, not you.  You aren't giving her an extra year of childhood.  You are taking away a year of being an adult and forcing them to continue being a child.[/quote]

It's not robbing them of a year of adulthood, it's making sure they are as ready and a prepared as they can be to get the most out of their education. It's not a race.[/quote]

I agree that education isn't a race. You know how you sometimes hear about a 12-or-13-year-old heading off to college? It's the parents of [i]those[/i] kids who view education as a race, not the parents of the kids starting college a few weeks shy of their 18th birthdays.[/quote]

So, if I have a late August vs. late September child/birthday, what exactly is the difference between a month?  You may be robbing them of a year of adulthood by forcing them to be kids an extra year when they are 18/adults.[/quote]
