Viewpoint 1. In Support of Academic Redshirting.

Frick, Ralph

Young Children, v41 n2 p9-10 Jan 1986

Argues that "redshirting" in kindergarten (or maintaining children in grade) can be a positive intervention if (1) the concept is used to enhance ability rather than underline failure and (2) the time periods children spend in the primary grades are made more flexible (to accommodate children's different rates of mastering skills).
