[quote=Anonymous]upper middle class, or upper upper middle-class families and wealthy families can redshirt. LMC or MC cannot typically because it's another year of expensive daycare or preschool. I have a friend whose kid is turning 4 and is the size of my 6-year-old, who is above average for his age. She plans on redshirting him because he isnt emotionally ready.....its still another 1.5 years until he would start. He will be the size of an 8- or 10-year-old by 6 years old. I agree there should be a cut-off and you can't just arbitrarily say I want my kid to be the oldest in school because its an advantage. If its an advantage to be older in school than we should have later starting times for public school (i.e must be 6 not 5). [/quote]
