[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone has to be the youngest and it's lousy when you hold your kid back so that it's not your kid.  Spare me the, "it's a decision each parent should make for their own kid" because the parent of every redhsirt kid I know is obnoxious.  Very driven to make sure their older kid is #1.

This is what you get your feathers ruffled about? Perhaps you could have used the "gift of time" because you sound bitter and immature. Every kid I know who has been redshirted including my own has been due to maturity issues or learning challenges. All of us consulted with multiple trained professionals including teachers, speech therapists and world renowned developmental pediatricians and neurologists. Consider yourself lucky that this is what gets you in a tizzy because most of the people I know have real problems and don't have time to whine about kids taking an extra year. Why not spend your time obsessing about the people losing their homes due to natural disasters and families who can't afford to feed their children. Do some volunteer work. Heck travel to an impoverished part of Africa or a war torn country or something. You need real issues to care about rather than spending your time stomping your feet and complaining about kids with special needs needing some extra help and more time. Have you no empathy?[/quote]
