[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Redshirting is for kids who are not [b]academically[/b] ready,[/quote] That is a misconception. The kids who benefit are the ones who are not [b]emotionally [/b]ready. Plenty of very bright kids benefit from redshirting if they are immature.[/quote] Any research on this? If you redshirt a very bright, quirky kid (and maybe you interpret quirkiness as immaturity) I think you might end up with a bored, isolated child who can relate even less to her classmates now. Op's child already gravitates to older kids - for the life of me, I cannot understand why sticking her with even younger kids is a good idea?[/quote] That is why I thought the OP should consider grade skipping. Not that she should definitely do it but she should think outside of her own box and really see what benefit her DD's unique needs rather than her own perceived notion of what a childhood should look lie.
