I don't believe in red****rting for social reasons because all the parents 
here cite that as the reason for red****rting their boys when all it is is 
boys being boys.  They are not late socially, they are on time, just more 
energetic and the adults can't deal with it.  There is nothing wrong with 
being a boy and I think the schools need to learn how to work with what
they 
have.  It's the reason why we have the kid red****rted to be 2 years older 
than his classmate.  He isn't behind socially, though his mom claims it. 
I 
think it made him more of a troublemaker than he is because he's so bored.

He's quite mature in a challenging situation.
