[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel bad for the kids of the parents on this thread. Redshirting screams "I don't accept my kid for the person they are." And those parents are going to be *so* disappointed when redshirting (inevitable) fails to transform their child into the child they hoped for. [/quote] I accept my son for who he was. I don't accept the public school system that demands 5 year old boys sit still for hours on end doing worksheets. The education system is the problem, not my kid. Hence he will repeat PreK.[/quote] I'd encourage you to consider a Montessori. Many of the problems described on this thread that parents are trying to address through redshirting simply do not exist at Montessori schools. Go sit in on a class full of four or five year olds. It will blow your mind. The first time you see it, it is like a miracle. [/quote]
