[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not only August babies who are redshirted in the US. It’s more like March - August borns. I think a February born example was given here early. So if that peer reviewed paper is correct. Spring born redshirting isn’t about appropriately correcting a systematic potential disadvantage to them but going beyond that and increasing that systematic disadvantage on those redshirters youngest classmates.[/quote] As a parent of a younger child, its not a disadvantage. It makes my child work harder to compete and shows who is really smart vs. just older. My child has no issue keeping up with academics and is in the highest classes/all A's.[/quote]
