Why redshirting for kindergarten is a bad idea:

Okay, I work in public elementary school, so I’ve seen a lot of Kindergarten kids!

The whole issue is maturity! Some kids are ready for Kindergarten, some are not. And if a child is barely making the age cutoff, it can make total sense to give them another year to grow up.

So it’s not about college, it’s about a young child who might not be developmentally ready for the rigors of Kindergarten (which has gotten way too “rigorous”, don’t get me started).
