[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids go to big 3. In one K class, there was one redshirted boy and a couple boys with April/May birthdays who started on time. There was also one redshirted girl. In my other kid's class there were two redshirted girls and no redshirted boys. In fact, there are several boys with late spring and summer birthdays. So, IME, redshirting is fairly uncommon and has little to no impact on class dynamics, especially as kids get older. The kids who mature the fastest are not necessarily the oldest. Instead, things like having older siblings,etc matter much more.[/quote] If the ‘late’ birthdays in a class of 20+ kids are April/May, that tells you something about who gets in. In a public school class of the same size, you would have a number of summer birthdays.[/quote]
