[quote=Anonymous]Many of you are not really arguing for redshirting, which implies a decision based on the specific kid’s readiness. You are arguing essentially for shifting the cutoff to May or June so that summer birthdays start school a year later. Because you are assuming that most parents of kids with summer birthdays (and especially boys) will wait to enroll. So your decision to redshirt isn’t based on measuring your kid against his actual grade cohort (which would include all the summer birthdays). You’re measuring him against the boys you will assume to be redshirt from the prior year and wind up in your kid’s class. If you want to move the cut off, move the cut off. But this idea that you should redshirt because other people redshirt gets really circular. This is why cutoffs exist. Someone has to be youngest. [/quote]
