[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids I know who redshirted, their families are exactly the type id expect to redshirt their kids. That’s all. A lot of them now complain that they wish area sports were grade based, not birth year based, because “it is hard to always have him be with the 3rd graders when he is a second grader”. Mind you this is for , say, August birthday boys who are basically in the middle, age-wise, for a birth year based sports team lol.

Anyways like I said whenever I find out a kid was held back/ is a year old for his grade it’s always “oh, well yeah knowing his parents that makes sense”.

This 100%.

Also, fwiw, in our child's grade at a big 3 elementary, it is the red shirted boys who have consistently caused the most disruption (in a grade that has many more boys than girls for some reason), which has led to many parents waging serious complaints to the school administration and admissions.

Sure, Jan.  :roll:

But, charitably, let’s pretend your whiny fantasies are true. Then why are you just passively sitting around? I would never let my kid stay in a private classroom where “many parents” had to make “serious” complaints to “administration and admissions.” That’s like parenting 101. You pull your kid from private school if it’s not the right fit. I think you need to learn some parenting basics, assuming you actually even have a child and not a figment of your fevered imagination. [/quote]
