[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all the new data on the potential benefits of red shirting for boys, I am surprised DC is picking now to dig in on this. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/10/boys-delayed-entry-school-start-redshirting/671238/ I really wish schools would just have a a different cutoff for boys and girls (and have a separate pre-k program for the boys that would be in kinder if they were girls). With early grades being more and more academic, a lot of boys are just not ready. I say this as a parent with two boys who have October b'days. They were not officially redshirted but I think being one of the older kids was really helpful to them. [/quote] That would obviously be gender discrimination. DCPS’s system is much better - evaluate the child and let them go down to K or repeat pk4 if actually needed. [/quote]
