[quote=Anonymous]While I agree that any "edge" red-shirting appears to give one kid over another is short-lived, I think that, in some cases, red-shirting can make a profound and lasting difference in how the kid who is red-shirted experiences school. Basically, there's a wide range of normal when it comes to early childhood development (especially prior to age 8-10) and development can be uneven across different domains (intellectual, physical, social, emotional). Putting a kid in a situation that he can't handle (yet) doesn't benefit anyone. Nor does letting that kid wait a year send him to the head of the class academically. A single extra year's worth of life experience isn't going to transform a kid who is immature in his own cohort into a genius in a slightly younger cohort. [/quote]
