Avra Siegel needs to consider either private school or home-schooling. She clearly has the means, and clearly is staying with DCPS solely to pick fights at this point. She's doing no one any favors with this pointless crusade, including her own kids.[/quote]

She seems truly insufferable. If she had kept her head down she probably would have been able to get her kid into K. [/quote]

It is true that by publicizing the issue and making a big stink about it, they are just highlighting the reason why it is completely unfair for them to expect to be allowed to redshirt.

If their kids had special needs or any real developmental reason other than "mommy just thinks I need more seasoning," that would be obvious by now and DCPS would have given in. But the more public they are about it, the more obvious it is that these kids would have been perfectly fine starting on time. [/quote]

+1. Borrowing the below from another thread because it’s spot on. (Sorry/thank you PP)

…these three moms are intentionally making a mess of the messaging because it benefits them. There are absolutely important reasons to redshirt, as have been raised here already — trauma, ESL, developmental delays, neurodivergence, etc. And those can all be properly evaluated, approved and set up with a plan for success. Especially at a school like Lafayette. “I don’t want my kid to be the youngest” is not that.

They say “I want my kid to have an advantage” but they intentionally drop the second part of the sentence. Guess what? It’s “I want my kid to have an advantage OVER YOUR KID.” Doesn’t exactly garner as much support when they actually have to admit that’s what they mean. But by virtue of shoving their kid who is over a year too old for a class in with yours, that’s exactly what it means.[/quote]
