Bit OT, but I was unfamiliar with the term "redshirting" (apart from Star Trek connotations, which I assumed isn't what was meant :) For the non-US people: the practice of postponing entrance into kindergarten of age-eligible children in order to allow extra time for socioemotional, intellectual, or physical growth [1] I remember hearing something about this sort of thing over here in the UK. I was surprised to see this wasn't accepted policy [2] until as late as 2015.
