[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I red-shirted for similar reasons but at a much younger age. Schools in VA place children in grades not by birth year, but by age in September. Keeping my LO on the state's track would have made her the youngest every year. Not fair to her, so I kept her back to give her an advantage. I have no guilt or shame.[/quote] What do you mean, not fair to her? Someone has to be the youngest; [b]it has nothing to do with fairness.[/b][/quote] It has everything to do with readiness, and presumably PP knows whether or not her DD displayed school readiness. Some young children are well ready,so me are not. My sister was held back a year, repeating preschool, because she had about as much interest in the academic end of school as the family dog. It worked well for her and neither my mother nor my sister have any regrets.[/quote]
