[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do it, you won’t regret it. We redshirted my eldest daughter born 5 days before the cut off. She stayed in her preschool one more year (with se lever al other classmates). It was non-issue. She was fine academically and now in 3rd she is doing fantastic (90-99th percentile on ERB), but she was socially immature. Even now that she is among the oldest in her class (though has never been the oldest), she is still on the you get side, but more middle of the pack.

In our well-known private, I have never seen a girl or a boy with an august birthday going on time. Plenty/all are redshirted[/quote]

They are all socially immature and she should be doing fantastic since she is measured at a year behind what her grade should be. [/quote]She's not a year behind, as a late August birthday she's only a couple of weeks older than the official start of the grade. She should be on the more mature end of her class. [/quote]

You said she is held back. And since she should be on the more mature end of her class, why isn’t she since you held her back to remedy that? [/quote]

Actually my DD was born 5 days before cut off (not a couple of weeks) and out of 18 kids she is the 4th oldest… so what… 65-70th percentile? Giving that is is scoring 90-99th percentile she is definitely doing great![/quote]

You want a cookie? She should be scoring that if she is the 4th oldest. That’s nothing to brag about. [/quote]

What is your problem? Why so bitter? Why do you care this much?
My guess is that you are super competitive and you want your non-redshirted summer kid to do better than anyone else…. How weird… No chance you would so bitter unless it was personal[/quote]

Ironically, you’re the bitter one who got cannot handle being called out by your “brag” as not really being something to brag about. DP[/quote]

Not at all! I am not going on anonymous boards telling other parents their kids are mediocre. My kids are doing great and I support redshirting for any kids who would benefit from one more year before entering PK/K. [/quote]
