My FIL did this to my wife's 24 year younger half bro. Ridiculous. You know why he needed to be 'redshirted', it's pure rocket science right here. Her dad was retired and living on a lake out by themselves and the new wife is not very socially active, so guess what? The kid was way behind socially. Mind blowing. Subtle brag here but the FIL is a retired surgeon so the boy is super smart, I mean ridiculous actually.
I chuckle everytime they talk about how well he is doing now. One of these days I'll be too many beers in and tell them I'd hope he's doing well he has had an extra year of practice over every other kid.
What if every parent did this? Think about that? So your kid isn't perfect, who cares? I always thought it was better to be the youngest kid that barely kept up then the oldest kid around that barely led the pack. I mean don't you want your kid to be pushed and motivated?
Anyway, I think redshirting is a ridiculous idea. There's always someone older, faster, stronger, etc. they gotta learn to deal with it sometime.

It's very common here in Dallas, but these parents are super competitive and will pick up and move to another ISD b/c the average SAT score is 5 points higher. You see a lot of 6-7 year olds in fricking Kindergarten. fricking ridiculous.
I started kindergarten at 4 and graduated high school at 17. Back then cut off was like December or something.
