[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Really depends on both the kid and the school. If redshirting is common in your area, I would do it. If it isn’t, I wouldn’t.[/b] My late summer birthday kid is at a private school that is known to have intense academics. The school suggested redshirting, and we accepted without reservation. He’s in upper school now and I’m really grateful that he has the maturity to handle the crazy workload. We definitely made the right choice. Socially, if redshirting is common, it will be a complete non-issue. But if it’s rare, it might be. It’s very dependent on your particular environment.[/quote] Very much this. Trying to convince a cutoff-strict public school to give you a redshirting exception will make your kid an outlier in a bad way. It's better in that case to enroll in a private school where redshirting is pushed or even mandatory. [/quote]
