[quote=Anonymous]OP, you might take a look at the UK which, until recently, did not allow redshirting of any kind. In fact, they would ask for exact birthdays on standardized tests so they could grade the tests accordingly to development/to the month. But the tide is turning there, as well. Essentially, they are seeing that some kids, particularly those with summer birthdays, may need some time to catch up and that parents know best. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/sep/08/parents-of-summer-born-children-get-right-to-delay-start-of-school That said, at some point it becomes an arms race of sorts and you also wind up with 18+ month spread in ages in a classroom. I'm not sure of the solution to it all. [/quote]
