If you redshirted your kid you did it for a reason and you don’t get to stop the rest of us from being annoyed at not having the same opportunity.,

Just as long as you don't get annoyed [i]at[/i] the redshirted kid. It wouldn't be fair to be annoyed with someone for something they had no say in. For all you know, said redshirted kid would have started on time had it been up to them.[/quote]

I feel bad for the kids and the few we know are poorly behaved and parents don't monitor things and are checked out. We've had to restrict friendships as the behavior was so off the hook on the group chats and other things.[/quote]

So you only know a few redshirted kids that you look down on but this is somehow a giant problem and redshirted kids have a huge advantage?

I suppose you are another example of the questionable reasoning skills of DCUM antiredshirters. I have low expectations for you folks.[/quote]

I don't look down on the kids as they don't behave that way with me.  I look down on the parents for not monitoring what is going on with their kids.  They are smart kids and bored and should be in the grade higher.

I really don't care if others do it.  Usually those who do, from what I see, are the uninvolved parents who send their kids to play based preschools so the parents then say the kids aren't ready, when the real issue was the kids didn't get the skills they needed at home or at preschool to be successful.  A good preschool will start reading skills at least by age four.  A good parent will work with their child 10-15 minutes a few days a week to start working on letter recognition and reading or get a tutor (and there is a difference from parents who can and will not vs. cannot).  I feel really bad for the kids when they come into K and many of their peers are reading and other academic skills and here they are the oldest and don't have those skills and have to play catch up.[/quote]

Your fake concern is really touching. It really shows that you care deeply about these kids. Almost brought a tear to my eye, this sorry tale you told of the poor oldest kids, doomed for life.[/quote]
