[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The only reason it freaks people out in this context is that they are assuming the situation (kindergarten, remember) is a competitive one and that an older kid's presence puts their own kid at a disadvantage. That's why I see the anti-redshirters as the hypercompetitive ones. [/quote] I completely agree with this.[/quote] The schools make it competitive the admissions process is competitive. The average to above average 6 year old will gain admissions over the average to above average 5 year old.[/quote] No -- the test scores, for example, are all scaled (down to the month). And, of course, admission has ceased to be an issue once you're worried about the ages of other kids in your DC's class.[/quote]
