[quote=Anonymous]Both kids born in summer (June and mid-August) and both are thriving. June one got in GT for next year. Yes, he's one of the smaller ones, but still has great friends. I never for a mili-second thought to redshirt. I think redshirting for no other reason than to give an "edge" is ridiculous. It's dumbing down your child. That's not an edge...that's thinking your child can't hack it amongst his peers so he needs to be with younger kids to stand out. If child is otherwise ready, especially academically, don't you think by redshirting, your child will be bored in class, and then because he is not challenged, he'll just cruise along and think that everything is easy, until it's not when he's older?[/quote]
