[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree "redshirt" is derogatory. I've met parents with summer birthday children who were held back just refer to them generally as "holdbacks." That's probably a more accurate and less loaded term, although perhaps a little more cumbersome and less flashy than referring to them as "redshirts." To me, this discussion over terminology sort of mirrors the debate over "Big 3." That term also is loaded, unfair, perhaps inaccurate. But it's a handy term for discussions since people know exactly what you mean. [/quote] A more appropriate term for redshirt could be a "shouldabeen". As in, "That Kindergartener "shouldabeen" a 1st grader but his Dad wants him to play football in high school.[/quote]
