[quote=Anonymous]My kid was born on August 5th. When he started kindergarten, we were in a state with an August 1st cutoff, so we didn’t have a choice and it wasn’t considered redshirting at that point bc it was after the cutoff. The summer between k and 1st, we moved to VA which is September 30th. I was a little nervous about him being one of the older ones in his grade, potentially almost 14 months ahead of the youngest kid, but now that he’s in high school, I’m so thankful it turned out this way. The schools have challenged him academically and socially he is right on point — something I couldn’t have predicted when he was 6. As a high school student, the opportunities for AP, advanced and honors courses are endless. Schools around here are so competitive with so many opportunities for kids to challenge themselves inside and outside of the classroom that I guess I just don’t understand some of these comments from the anti-redshirts.
