[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We are in Nashville. It may be more common here. I would say most of May boy bdays will be redshirted. Maybe a little more than half of Feb-April and 80 percent of summer. There are no developmental concerns at all and one of the biggest in his grade. It just goes back to him being so much younger since soooo many are opting to redshirt. I wouldn’t even consider it but some of these kids will be turning 7 before he turns 6. If this is common in your area, how do teachers handle this? At this moment, we are planning to go on time, but I’m concerned that my kid won’t even have a shot keeping up with kids academically. I know many parents opt to red shirt so their kids are able to keep up socially but he already has a number of friends if he goes on time. If we held him back he wouldn’t know many of the kids. [/quote] I wouldn't worry about academics. I'd worry about bullying.[/quote]
