[quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, of course, but my parents put me in K at 4 years and 4 months, sort of the opposite of redshirting. (They got a private school to do it, kept me in K and 1 and then MoCo public schools allowed me to transfer in seamlessly.) I can see both advantages and disadvantages for myself... disadvantages mostly in sports... but academically, I then went into gifted programs, where there were also a lot of kids who had skipped grades and were closer to my age. I feel like there are studies on both sides of this in the past few years-- all showing "small but significant" advantages. Really seems like it's down to the individuals and he school system.[/quote]
