[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since this is in the private school forum, is redshirting just that much more prevalent at private schools as compared to public?[/quote] I don't know but my guess it's probably about the same for private or public. At least in our local FX school, during the kindergarten roundup (usually held in March before fall K start) the vice principal has clearly stated "if your son is 4 turning 5 this summer, we'll see you NEXT year." Thus, a clear message from this school that encourages summer bday boys to take a gap year. Of course, it is public school and parents are free to agree and wait or go ahead and send their kid "on time." Seems harder to do in private schools where the school has the final say on acceptance/placement. [/quote]
