[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven’t read the whole thread. OP, the answer is that only weirdos care about redshirting because it’s a non-issue. I assume this thread is full of the usual sheltered anti-redshirting hysterics, but in real life, this is not an issue. [/quote]

The pro-redshirters are just as crazy.

Agree, though, that irl most people don't care. Outside of private schools that push for redshirting, even in high income areas, only a small portion of the students redshirt.

The people who claim otherwise--that their classrooms are full of Spring redshirters--are either mistaken or outliers.[/quote]

On DCUM, no, the pro-redshirters are not nearly as crazy. I say that as someone who didn’t redshirt but has read these threads for years. There are occasional crazy redshirters, but they are dwarfed by the insane anti-redshirters. Those people are both nuts and weirdly unable to do math.

Agree nobody cares, though. [/quote]

[b]There is someone on these boards (maybe you) who interprets any criticism of ANY redshirting as being a "crazy anti-redshirters."[/b] You can say you live redshirting, that you redshirted your own kid in fact, but if you say "eh, I think it should be limited to summer birthdays" or "sometimes people redshirt and I don't think it's necessary in that case" you are crazy on these boards. I don't get it.

It's not a subject on which it's necessary to take a strong pro or con position. It's often fine but sometimes it's not. [/quote]

As someone who thinks that DCUMs anti-redshirters are certifiable for the most part, I can assure you I am one of several different posters who have reached the same conclusion. I often don’t post at all in these threads or even read them, but when I open them, I see the same observations. The fact is most DCUM anti-redshirters sound crazy, I am sorry to say.

I actually kind of love Natural Law Anti-Redshirter for the entertainment value alone. [/quote]
