[quote=Anonymous]Her redshirted child was rejected at the first choice school but admitted at the second choice school.  It's a little awkward, because her DC is currently in K and doesn't understand why he will be in K again next year.  He may be young, but he's smart enough to know that his classmates are going onto first grade.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very close relative redshirted her (May birthday) DC this year--WPPSI score in the high 90s and no developmental delays.  She just thought that in this competitive admissions process, her DC would appear to be a stronger, more mature and more compelling applicant if compared to  "younger" kids. So for those of you pretending that anyone who redshirts must be doing so for "honorable" reasons, you can drop the Pollyanna act.[/quote]

Did it work? Why do schools go along with this? Can't they push back? At our school, I know of at least one case where the parents would have liked to redshirt and the school insisted on placement in the higher grade.[/quote][/quote]
