[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt it will happen because people will lose their minds over it. They might try to pass the policy, but it will never stick. In DC it wound up being a handful of parents throwing a fit. In MoCo it would be thousands of parents. [b]And not even just parents who redshirt -- a lot of MoCo families believe redshirting should be permitted because they think it improves the maturity of K cohorts overall.[/b] In some elementary schools, it's a huge part of the culture of the school.[/quote]

Lol keep telling yourself you're doing some kind of public service rather than seeking the best advantages for your own kid.

I don't think MCPS needs to ban anything but you sound ridiculous.[/quote]

Np. I have a bunch of K teacher friends. They’re convinced that red shirting boys is the best for everyone. They sit better, better attention spans, more social maturity. The whole classroom benefits. The teachers have gone as far to say that girls should start at 5 and boys start at 6.

I have to agree. I feel like school is made for well behaved little girls and boys just flounder. I feel bad for little boys[/quote]

Your "K teacher friends" sound like a bunch of sterotyping nitwits.  Signed-mother of active girl[/quote]

Any Kindergarten or preschool teacher will tell you that boys and girls tend to behave differently.  There is individual variation of course, but you have to be a fool not to notice or admit that generally boys and girls exhibit different types of behavior.  [/quote]
