[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Which schools are suffering from chaos from redshirters with unaddressed issues? Never heard of that. I would think the opposite is true in most public schools. Parents are dumping their feral kids off as soon as legally possible and letting the schools figure out the rest.[/quote]

That’s not fair— parents who don’t have resources to properly feed their kids, parents who need the social and educational resources in school, should not be shamed for sending kids at four.  But, that doesn’t mean it should be  legal requirement for anyone else to do so. [/quote]

Nobody shamed them. But if you’re going to say redshirted kids are causing chaos you need to substantiate it because it appears patently false. Anyone with any familiarity with public schools can see the lie.[/quote]
