[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt it will happen because people will lose their minds over it. They might try to pass the policy, but it will never stick. In DC it wound up being a handful of parents throwing a fit. In MoCo it would be thousands of parents. And not even just parents who redshirt -- a lot of MoCo families believe redshirting should be permitted because they think it improves the maturity of K cohorts overall. In some elementary schools, [b]it's a huge part of the culture of the school[/b].[/quote] What does this even mean? Is there an MCPS elementary school where parents are consciously redshirting their kids as a group? [/quote] W school cluster parents think it will give their kid an advantage. 5 year olds go to kindergarten, as they should, OP.[/quote] Redshirting is not common at all at our W cluster elementary. Much more common for summer birthday kids to start on time (as they should).[/quote]
