[quote=Anonymous]We've moved away from DC but I still keep up with the forum. It's not unusual where I am to redshirt kids, especially boys but a few girls too. My DS has a girl in his class who not only has an August birthday (on the older side) but is also highly gifted and mature. It's very obvious that she is in the wrong grade. We have another friend who redshirted her son (for a May birthday)-- he's does not stand out as immature. Also, his dad was a college football player and this kid is already much bigger than my taller than average son who is one grade up. I know in some cases there are reasons--but the cases I'm aware of are "gaming the system" for grades, leadership, and athletics. [/quote]
