[quote=Anonymous]I came very close to red shirting my boy with a summer birthday simply because I didn't want him to always be one of the youngest kids in his class. In the end, after really struggling and agonizing over that decision, dh and I sent him on time. 15 years later and that kid is now a 19 year old college junior and doing well - he started taking some college classes at the age of 16 when he was still in HS. If I had, in fact, red shirted him the school probably would have graduated him a year early and he would have wound up in college anyway. As it turned out, by sending him on time, he was 17 throughout his senior year of HS, took most of his classes at the college campus and had one of his classes at the HS. I had no idea, of course, that things would work out like this but in my son's case, I am glad that we chose to send him on time. [/quote]
