[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I have an august 31 DD that i will not be red shirting. She will end up in 9th grade with kids a full 18 months older. [/quote]

So don’t go to private schools where they redshirt. Problem solved. Such ridiculous whining. [/quote]

My DD was born on Aug 26th and we redshirted her. The oldest kids are born in July so maybe 13-14 months older than your DD… not 18. Stop with the drama (or change school/redshirt, etc.)[/quote]

You people make no sense.  If a 14+ age gap is no big deal, then why is it a problem to have your child in his right-age class?  Because he's not yet "ready"?  But isn't it okay if he is a year less "ready" since that gap is negligible?[/quote]

People don’t redshirt because of the age gap. It’s not the comparative thing that you are fixated on.

It’s about the best environment for that kid at that point. Which for almost all 4-5 year old kids, play-based preschool is best. Many parents can’t afford that extra year so they push their kids into age-inappropriate Kindergarten. [/quote]
