[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you always tell why a kid was red-shirted if you don’t know them well?[/quote]

Some people can.  They can also see through your BS “excuses.”  See the other thread on this.  [/quote]

[b]My, my. Sooo angry. Fall birthdays here.[/b] Just wondering how everyone is always so certain why another parent did red-shirt when they don’t even know the kid.  And of course a stranger knows much better than a parent, don’t you agree?  [/quote]

So then you have no idea what it's like in our shoes, as parents of children who turn 5 in July or August, starting K with kids who turned 5 LAST summer, and are now more than a full year older than them, and teasing them on the playground for being babyish and not wanting to play them them.  I'm not worried about academics for my son I'm worried about the social aspect of him being picked on for being the youngest, smallest, and least socially mature boy in a class with kids who were held back, are over a year older than him, and then pick on him for being small![/quote]Yup. I posted on the other thread, but my DD is going to be the youngest in her class by 2 months.  All of the other late summer birthdays at her public were redshirted and are more than a year older.[/quote]
