[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At NCRC half the class (with birthdays from throughout october) was redshirted (the kids will start K when already 6)[/quote] Interesting. I assume the families make the decision planning to go to a school with a lot of redshirting. They’re kind of a feeder to Sidwell, Beauvoir, etc. right?[/quote] If you're bent on redshirting your spring or summer child, why would you care? it's not like there are any private schools that put an upper band on age. some, more than others may try to keep a balance, but then they need to be effective at teaching a wide range of ages in a classroom and at dealing with different social issues that come up over the years due to having a wide range of ages in a grade (i.e. puberty, dating, tweens making fun of adolescents, teens making fun of tweens, etc.).
