[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kinder is such great year normally. I would redshirt a June bday this year in a heartbeat. April or earlier, probably no. June? Absolutely. [/quote]

Does anyone ever ask you how old you were when you graduated high school? College?  It doesn’t matter at all.  In the grand scheme of things, we are talking about a year difference.  Do what is best for your kid.[/quote]

How do  you think a kid will feel being an 19-20 year old senior?   Kids know who was held back.[/quote]

I know a lot of 19 year old high school seniors. Redshirting is pretty common, you know. None are 20—even if they were redshirted once they’re only 19. [/quote]

If I held my fall kid back, they would have been 18 all of senior year.  If a spring kid is held back they turn 19... the is way to old for high school.  If a parent held back last year, they would have started at 6 this year.  If they choose to hold back again, they will be 7 when they start.[/quote]

It’s truly okay.  It happens everywhere.  Not a huge deal.  BUT now there is a global emergency, so if there is an unusual number of kids who are 19 as seniors, there will be a specific reason for it.  I know three families redshirting.  Stop making it a huge deal.  If you don’t want to do it, then just don’t.  [/quote]
