[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is redshirting gone wrong. Poor kid. If they’re in a K-6 elementary school, god help those poor teachers dealing with a 13 year old all year long. Elementary schools are not built for 13 year olds. Then in her senior year, this kid is going to be 19 the entire year. Ridiculous. [/quote] This is a parent who did't want to send their child to virtual Kindergarten and COULD HAVE started their child in 1st grade on time (there's no requirement that children go to KindergarteN), but instead chose to put their child as a much older kindergartener to give them an advantage. I 100% bet that child ends up in AAP/G&T and the mom will be like "oh look at Larla, she's GIFTED!!" <-- she's not gifted, she's just almost 2 years older than the youngest kid in the class. - Mom to two summer birthday children who started school on time and both are in AAP.[/quote]
