[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not familiar with "Junior First".  Are you sure he won't be going into 2nd grade next year?   He'll definately stand out as he'd be a full year older than the other kids.  [/quote]

No it's a transition year between K and 1st, I'm in the Baltimore area and a lot of the prep schools have this option[/quote]

Well it appears to be just a single year of redshirting, not 2 years like OP claims.  So perhaps this child has some special needs that required both redshirting for K and "pre-first."  In any event she should MYOB.

Not sure where I claimed the kid was redshirted 2 years.  He started K at 5.75 years old which is the correct time for him to have started- if he was born in late fall, he was 5 when he started K and was on the older end of kids in the class.  Now, at the end of K, instead of going on to first grade he is going on to the transition class.  He will do first grade the year after that.  So he is being "held back" one year.  The fact that makes him super old compared to other kids is that he was already on the older end starting K, it's not like he was an august birthday.  [/quote]

Ok so he was redshirted with a [b]March birthday[/b], apparently.  That's unusual.  The school website says that it's for May - Dec birthdays. But who cares, not your kid, not your school, you have no actual clue why they chose to put him in the transitional class or what he'll do next year.  [/quote]

Work on your math, please.  You're making us pro-redshirters look bad.  [/quote]
