[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably because they are done with DCUM teacher haters and don’t want to be accused of being “lazy” for being in favor of redshirting. Surely they would only be in favor to make their jobs easier. 
FWIW every teacher I know was in favor of redshirting. I asked probably ten teacher friends when we were considering our son with a late July birthday. Only one said not to. [/quote]

So if they are saying yes to late July, what do you think theyd say for mid June?! I am so confused by all this and have a mid June kid.[/quote]

TeAchers at a parochial school (which I think are less likely to be in favor of redshirting than independent school teachers) told me that it’s good to give an extra year of childhood especially to August birthday kids (DD was born on august 23rd). I don’t know how the would feel about june biryhday, but my feeling is that it’s all relative to the child. Your kid could be more mature than a March birthday child and less mature than an August birthday one... if you are going tonpuvlic or parochial schools,  there may be several kids more than one year younger than your kid. In my DD’s case it’s less likely[/quote]
