[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] To me, the hyper-competitive parents are the ones bitching about red-shirting rather than the ones doing it. God knows what prize they think their child is being deprived of in Kindergarten by being forced to compete with slightly older kids. [/quote] No, it is the hyper-competitive parents who are redshirting their Jan-May kids who are forcing such an age disparity in the classrooms. The rest of the people are reacting to it. At the age of 5, 16-18 months as an upper standard in the classroom is not "slightly older". Sure, when kids are in high school, you have Freshmen trying out for varsity sports and are thus 14-15 year olds competing against 18-19 year olds. But don't you think the ratios outline in this thread are extreme for the ages being discussed?[/quote]
