  The selfishness on display here is revolting.

A child who is given the advantage of being the oldest and best is pushing another kid to be younger and worse in comparison.

Schools are a community where actions have consequences on  others .

Why on earth should I lift a finger to help anyone if the world is just full of A-holes ? [/quote]

DCUM anti-redshirters are SO bizarre. I didn't redshirt, and read these threads because of the entertainment value from the weirdo anti-redshirters. This one is perplexing, though. Is PP also arguing that no kids should have outside supplements? No tutoring? No moving to "good" school districts? All of those have far, far more documented impact on others than redshirting (which is statistically insignificant) but I suspect that PP is one of the hyper competitive parents who does all of that. If you want to call an action selfish, why pick one that is statistically irrelevant and ignore the actions where there are years of data documenting the adverse impact on other kids?

I just can't get over the naked hypocrisy of the anti-redshirters. [/quote]

Agree with everything, except redshirting is statistically significant, but after you control for many other variables just barely. After 2-3 years it is indeed insignificant. So it’s just a very minor effect lasting for a short time. If you really want to “cheat” read to your child every day till kindergarten, this will have a much stronger effect on their academic success.[/quote]

For the bizarre anti redshirted, use the time you bash other peoples redshirting choices to do homework with your child. It will be more constructive and helpful for your kid.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure this weirdo has mentioned before they don't even have kids. They have zero skin in the game and are full of opinions. They are so out of touch they don't even realize schools have moved on from the 12/31 cut off date.[/quote]

Lol, no, that can’t be. Anti-redshirter, your reputation is besmirched by malicious cheaters. Please defend your honor and say it isn’t so![/quote]
