[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has a March birthday and while we did not redshirt, we had several people telling us it would only benefit him. We are in private school though and most summer birthdays are redshirted and therefore my March birthday son is usually one of the youngest in the class.[/quote]

My friend with kids in a southern private school redshirted them and they have Jan and Feb birthdays.  I was shocked that people would do this for kids without need (which hers do not have).  And her kids are really tall too![/quote]

Yes we have family in Texas and redshirting for spring and even sometimes winter birthdays is really common. I was also shocked to learn how rampant it is. My August birthday kid went on time and it's funny to think about her graduating high school and going to college at the same time as kids who are nearly two years older. They will turn 20 before the end of their freshman year of college![/quote]

Texas is obsessed with hs football.[/quote]
