[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't redshirt my summer birthday boy. I now have a rising third grader who is in NO way ready for third grade socially or academically (reading at K, maybe early 1st, grade level, gravitates to the 1st graders on playground).  Now, I am talking about how to hold him back in second without making him feel like a failure.  Parents, follow your gut not the calendar and redshirt your kids if you "feel" they are not ready.[/quote]

I didn't redshirt my late September birthday boy, who turned 5 after he started kindergarten. He is now a rising 3rd grader and reading at a 5th grade level and gets along great with his peers and his teachers.

PP, I have great sympathy for you and your kid, but this is not a redshirting issue.  [/quote]

except I felt at K that he wasn't ready but didn't consider not sending him.  I wish now I would have listened to my gut and not followed the calendar. You know if your kids is not in teh same place as other kids his age.[/quote]
