Confidence, high self-esteem, leadership tendencies, and extrovert characteristics, however, are all qualities that lead to success in business, and are all characteristics that are born at a young age.  If you think that this redshirting trend does not change the classroom dynamics enough to affect the growth of these characteristics in "on-time" children, you are WRONG.  Bigger and older boys change the classroom dynamics.  Of course they do.  All of you taking a narrow view at this are doing this only because such a simplistic approach serves your interests.  What if you had a March boy?  What if he was small?  Or shy? But ready for K from an intellect prespective? I think you would feel differently. [/quote]

I have one DC in middle school and one DC in high school and this has not been the case at all for either of them and their classes.  And I should add that the middle schooler is an August birthday, and was held back, and the high schooler is May birthday and has been in school with kids a year older.  It hasn't made a bit of a difference.  Not one bit.[/quote]
