[quote=Anonymous]But, here's what I found to be a head scratcher... my DS is a late June birthday. He was NOT red-shirted and he is very smart, sailed thru school, top of his class at the K-8, and doing fabulous at his private, all boys HS. I can't imagine any benefit that holding him back would achieve. My DD, on the other hand, is a March birthday so red-shirting was never even on the table. However, every year since 1st I wish I would have held her back a year. To the point that I've even considered switching schools to hold her back. So, I think red-shirting really helps some kids but to make a blanket statement that every boy with a summer birthday needs to be held back is just wrong. [/quote]
