[quote=Anonymous]I can understand redshirting a child who's in danger of doing poorly in school so that they'll do okay. But redshirting a child who's already slated to do okay in school so they can excel is just greedy. Therefore, I think parents should have the right to redshirt, but that the redshirted child should not be allowed to enter any competitions. They should not be allowed to run for class president, valedictorian, etc. They shouldn't be allowed to apply to any colleges in the top 20 or receive scholarships. If they want to play sports, they should play in their age-appropriate grade. If your kid is developmentally behind, then you do whatever you need to do in order to help them pass by the skin of their teeth. But it makes no sense to reward a kid for proving that they're smarter than someone a year younger than them.[/quote]
