[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Most people don't red-shirt. Send him on time unless he has a learning disability. [/quote] As a teacher, I will tell you that the Last reason you should redshirt him is a learning disability. Maturity is the only reason I would redshirt him.[/quote] Can you elaborate? TIA.[/quote] Maturity wise, it has been shown to even out by grade 3. No evidence points to any benefits to holding kids back when they are in the range of normal and that range is wide at age 5. If your child is currently in pre k - are you considering putting them a year back to be with 2-3 yr olds when they are 4-5? You would be unlikely to do that - why do it with school. I lived in an area where there is no red shirting and the cut off to start K is Dec 31st so there are many 4 year olds in K. Shocker but they all manage just fine and grow, develop and learn just like their peers. People here have very low expectations of their kids.[/quote]
