[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools can’t have it both ways either - in one breath they say that there’s no need for a kid to start early or skip a grade because they can differentiate just fine, and in the next they say you can start as late as you want if you aren’t “ready” Either they can differentiate for kids within a 12 month birth range, or they should base class placement on something other than age. What Id love to see is a small window (2 weeks on either side? Maybe a month?) when parents have discretion either way. After that, you don’t have to send your kid, but when your April birthday kid shows up, they’ll be placed into the age appropriate grade. So redshirting basically means skipping K.[/quote] What's more lovely is come HS, when you have mixed grade classes and your 14 year old is with 18/19 year olds. [/quote]
