[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why this is such a big deal.  Most 8th graders will turn 14 at some point during the year, and many will be almost 15 at the end of the school year.  So it's not that big a difference.  14.5 is probably the norm.[/quote]

It’s not a big deal at all. Anti-redshirters are just bad at math.

12-14 = age range with no redshirting (12 months max age difference, most not that much)

12-14 = age range with summer redshirting (15 months max age difference, most not that much)

12-15 = age range with spring redshirting (18 months max, most not that much — very uncommon)

Just to recap the numbers for the people who suck at math

It’s not a big deal.

12-14 is a two year difference.

12-15 is a three year difference.

That is huge.  [/quote]

Wrong. At no point in time is there a three year difference.

It’s an 18 month MAX difference in age between the oldest spring redshirted kid and the very youngest September birthdays. The vast majority of kids are much closer in age than that.

Plus, spring redshirting is not common.

Aprilon is common.  Sometimes march.  [/quote]
