[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How far back to people usually redshirt? My son was born April 5, and I don't want him to be the youngest in the class. Are most April boys held back?[/quote]

June through September are the usual ages for waiting an extra year.

Do most kids with these bdays get redshirted?  If so, why don't the school districts just change the cut off to May 31?

FWIW - my summer born DCs were not held back and are doing very well academically, with the older in HGC.[/quote]

No "most" kids do not get redshirted.  One poster seems to think there are massive numbers of kids being held back - but no one has concrete information.  I do not think that many are held back each year. honestly.  [/quote]

not to mention that summer birthdays and boys (both of which tend to be the ones held back) are only a certain percentage of a class.  And only a percentage of those are held back.  So the number cannot be huge.[/quote]
