[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a boy in preschool with an April birthday who will attend the DC private his brother currently attends. No one at either school has said anything about redshirting and I’m not going to push it. But I admit I hate that he is and may continue to be the youngest![/quote] The idea that an April birthday would be "the youngest" in any school cohort points to the whole problem with redshirting, which is that parents just chase each other around in a circle. It used to be that it was the June kids that people felt were borderline, then May, now April. It's just a silly self-created problem.[/quote]
