[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you redshirt keep in mind that it’s much harder to parent a 20-year-old senior…[/quote] Before you redshirt or not, do some math. My redshirted kid will be 18 when he graduates because his birthday is July, but if he was born in the later winter or spring (the earliest I've seen redshirting) he'd be a young 19. My non redshirted kid will be 17. So, no 20 year olds.[/quote] Whose math? It's very common for private schools to require red-shirting and then to add another year before middle school or high school. In Baltimore they add another year before 1st. So yes, a 20 year old senior is mathematically correct. But very difficult to parent.[/quote] Another Baltimore parent here, and this is absolutely false. Yes, pre-first is common so you could have a senior that turns 19 in the spring of senior year. But holding back again in middle school is not at all common.[/quote]
