[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]

No kindergarten class sits for hours doing worksheets, that’s ridiculous.   Repeating pre-k will bore a bright kid and kindergarten will happen, just a year later.  [/quote]

A day in a kindergarten classroom or pre-k classroom is generally so chaotic with lots of lining up to go to recess, wash hands, go to lunch,  so much noise, crying, laughing, etc no kid is really bored the whole time. And if they are bored it’s probably because their parents drilled them to death with boring worksheets to teach them everything in advance just to make the experience worse? [/quote]
