[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you guys at age 30 plus REALLY think your parent choosing to red shirt you are not changed your educational pathway.

For what it is worth I started kinder at age 4. Maybe that is why I am went to a state college and am only a government lawyer. If my parents would have pushed me back I could have been a corporate lawyer bringing in the big bucks. [/quote]

I’m very glad you were successful. My younger sibling with an August birthday had significant maturity challenges and through social promotion ended up in 2nd grade basically unable to read. My parents, 30 years later, regret their decision. [/quote]

But do you think all of that would have been solved by starting a year later. I mean it sounds like there were other significant issues (i.e.) the problem with social promotion. I mean I don't know like there are significant issues.  One of the issues is kids not getting the help they need. But they likely still need that extra help whether starting in at almost 5 or almost 6. I guess what I am saying is the issues is NOT your sibling started with an August birthday, it is because the system failed. [/quote]
