[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Red shirting is not a new phenomenon. People have been doing this for 30-40 years (that I'm aware of - I have teachers in my family and kids that "started K late"). Relatively middle-middle class family. We also did this with two DS. Most teachers will say it can't hurt, and if you're unsure, to do it. [/quote] I'm 40 and the only kids who were held back were the ones who failed the grade. We have a fall kid and we sent him early. He also does sports. Sports go by age, not grade so being younger has its advantages. Kids who start the sport younger clearly have an advantage. Mine started it about 2 years later and is much slower but catching up. Most of the really good kids have private coaches as well, which we started to do. There is usually more to it all once you actually look into it. It makes no sense to hold kids back.[/quote]
