[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The kids I know who redshirted, their families are exactly the type id expect to redshirt their kids.[/b] 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 [b]at a big 3 elementary[/b], 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.

If your kids actually went to a big 3 elementary, then you'd know that the schools are forcing summer boys to redshirt. It's not even a choice for parents if they want their kids to attend. The "type of parents" are parents who send their summer bday kids to big 3.

Three private schools in DC that some people consider the most prestigious.
