[quote=Anonymous][quote]We're ending up with environments where parents of perfectly average children feel a need to redshirt them if their birthday is within three months of the cut off date, simply so they won't be labeled a bad child or a stupid child when the child is simply a perfectly average child.[/quote] I don't think that is why most people do it. My son has a late August birthday and is very, very bright. He is also tiny physically and immature emotionally. I redshirted him because I was concerned about him making friends and keeping up socially. Even a year behind, he is not exactly a social butterfly, but he does have some friends and basically fits in.[/quote]
