[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a few kids who repeated a preK or K year -- but I'm always surprised by red-shirting. Are families paying for an entire year more of daycare? I can't imagine any of the public school families I know having the resources to throw 15-20K at this.[/quote] It's not an extra 20k for an extra year of PK. Our (very good) PK is $1200/month. Public K is not "free" - you have to figure in after care and vacations (at least 5k for the school year). So for a 10-month school year, the extra cost of staying in PK is more like 6-7K. That's not an amount I would be overjoyed to pay, but it's doable for a lot of people. [/quote]
