[quote=Anonymous][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]

A private Montessori will kick out kids that are unable to work independently and are disruptive to the work of others. They will say the child isn’t suited for Montessori education. Public school can’t do this.
