[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a limit to redshirting within the first year? I don't know of any.

A child who turns six on Sept 2 (and so would naturally be the oldest in the K class in MD) can still redshirt, right?  So there is nothing stopping a 7 year old from being in K, is there?  Surely we can agree that that's a whacky system, and maybe SOME limits and guidelines should be implemented.  We're already starting to get April and May parents asking about redshirting right here on DCUM.[/quote]
After reading this whole thread I'm pretty convinced that giving parents the discretion to choose when to start school (up to 1 year late) is actually perfectly reasonable. Are all of you anti-redshirters this willing to let the government (state in this case) into other affairs in your home? -signed no dog in this fight[/quote]

The govt is in your affairs either way.    Yes, I am fine with it and we have had govt in our home due to my husbands job, being caretakers for an elderly resident and more.  Even early intervention is govt in your home.  We have nothing to hide.   I do not agree with holding kids back.  We did, regretted it and pushed our kid forward.  The forward is so much better.
