[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who can, should. And I hate redshirting. It's skewing things to your kid's advantage. And that goes against every rule of good parenting. But these are not ordinary times. I would redshirt this year if I was faced with the decision and not feel quilty at all.[/quote]

I agree with this though I didn’t redshirt my kindergartner this year either. She will be 6 in December and I thought the better option long term is not for her to be so old for the grade. That said I have the privilege of being able to afford private K this year. We are a dual working family household and I know virtual K will be so miserable. [/quote]
I don’t think anyone would ever redshirt a December birthday. I understand a July-September birthday, but December? If you redshirted your daughter She would be turning 7 3 months after starting K... that is insane[/quote]

Its about the parents, not about the kids.  Kids need support, supplementing from parents.  Most parents want to hand their kids off to school and not be bothered.  Parenting is too much of a burden for them so they'd prefer to raise "independent" kids.[/quote]
