[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wordy. You should see me on coffee.. people-pleaser too.

Really, I am satisfied with my decision, for me. I still think redshirting is unfair bc it favors those who can afford an extra year of prek. I think public schools should allow children to repeat at the K level if they want. But if everyone has equal access, then its just a personal decision. Each family can decide what to do, just like I did.

It seems the children are nicer than the adults sometimes...

Will check on this in a few days to see if there were any more helpful responses. If not, this is my last post.  Night!

OP, I think you should do what you feel is right for your child. But you should realize that while adults AND children may not ask you directly, they will come to their silent conclusions about why your son was redshirted. Yes, the kids to notice, maybe not in the early elementary years, but later. If they are in a gifted or magnet program, they definitely notice. if you are a people pleaser, just be aware that this might bother you, but it comes with red shirting.[/quote]
