[quote=Anonymous]Our school district is strictly against redshirting and it's worked out really well. Classroom dynamics seem to just work better when all of the kids are within 11.9 months of each other. There's of course a range of performance and readiness but by and large kids within a narrow 1 year range of each other have more in common over the duration of their k-12 years than classrooms where ages may have a 2 year spread but are all treated as "the same" (differentiating here from something like a montessori style, which I understand is designed around a mix of ages).[/quote]
