[quote=Anonymous]Personally I would not redshirt unless I was on the fence already. I’d sign up for the online learning and half-ass it, focusing on reading skills. Child will likely do fine in 1st grade next year (especially if they did preK). “Classroom skills” may be rusty but all the kids will be in the same boat. Alternatively I might be inclined to homeschool on my own time table (avoiding the online learning, which is largely nonsense) and your kid will still do fine in 1st next year. Depends how long you think covid closures will last, and what your school enrollment situation is (do you need to do online learning to hold a spot) I have three older DC and IMO K was more about learning school skills, social skills, etc- academics not so much. It was an unimportant year academically other than reading (or pre reading) skills, which most involved parents work on at home anyway. [/quote]
