[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you all talked with any K teachers? They're thrilled with the redshirted kids, especially boys. [/quote] At a tony private where the kids are redshirted due to pressure to conform? Maybe. Not true at a public where most redshirting is done as a quick "fix" for maturity issues. Redshirting without addressing the real issues just leads to more classroom chaos.[/quote] This. The parents who redshirt in public are PITAs and their kids often have untreated issues the parents blame on stuff like being premies or having a late summer birthday. Private school redshirting tends to be school driven. It's a major difference. Giving parents carte Blanche on this is a mistake because parents are poor judges of how their children will perform/behave in the classroom.[/quote]
