Yes, but OP incorrectly lumps you in with redshirting. I think there is a lot less redshirting than people assume— they are just bad at reading the calendar.[/quote]

Natural law anti-redshirter is entertaining for sure. [/quote]

What I meant by natural law in this case was the way things were meant to be. School was designed to group kids by age with no overlap. School was designed so that the youngest student in grade n would always be older than the oldest student in grade n-1. Redshirting open up the possibility of this rule being violated Let's say a kid born at the beginning of October is redshirted. That means that they'll be older than roughly a quarter of the kids in the grade above them. It is not normal or natural for there to be a case of a student in grade n being younger than a student in grade n-1. This is why I'm against both redshirting and greenshirting.[/quote]

did you know that words have meanings?[/quote]
