What the research says

Studies of redshirting have found pros and cons. Some research has found that any boost in achievement fades away as children get older. Redshirting could increase high school dropout rates because older students would reach the legal age for quitting school earlier. It could also disadvantage men by delaying their entry into the job market.

The older students consistently scored higher on tests in third grade and, to a lesser extent, eighth grade. They were more likely to attend college and less likely to go to jail as juveniles. The findings were true for children of all backgrounds, but especially for boys and for children from low-income family. These traits, which girls tend to develop earlier, have been shown to be crucial to academic success.

Children develop this kind of self-control through pretend play, and older children probably spent more time doing that in high-quality, play-based Danish preschools.

A study of 400K children in every state found that those with birthdays just before the kindergarten cutoff were significantly likelier to be diagnosed with ADHD than those with birthdays just after the cutoff.

What else could help, if not redshirting?

A better alternative to redshirting all boys, some researchers said, would be to make it optional for any student so that parents could choose whether it was right for their child, with advice from teachers and the option to attend an extra year of public pre-K.

An easier change, some said, would be to make the cutoff date for kindergarten earlier, so all children would turn 5 at least a few months before they start. Teachers could group classes by birth month, with the older kindergartners together in one class and the younger ones in another.

Also, schools could restore more of the play-based learning — like dress-up, art and nature exploration — that was much more common in kindergarten before 2000.

For example to wear to the office or to a date or just out shopping.

I would be dressed smart casual with this watch. Clean Vans shoes, dark chinos or grey jeans and a nicely fitting white tee (or button up shirt if it's a nicer event like a wedding).

No other jewelry or sunglasses or anything like that. Just clean clothes and a watch.

Basically I'm 36 and I want to start dressing a little nicer when I go out. 🙂

By the way in my last question you guys and girls helped me to choose this blue Citizen watch! 84% voted for this one. 🤩

(I do also just wear sweatpants sometimes if I'm at work or I'm out skateboarding. — But then I'd go with a less dressy and less fragile G-Shock so that's not really relevant to this question.)

Thanks for voting / answering. ❤️

(Note: I don't wear leather so that's not one of the options. Just the metal bracelet or blue strap you can see in the photos.)

This Sunday/tomorrow I’m going on a dinner date/ I’ve been speaking to a girl for a week and she wants to meet. I don’t want to get my hopes up as then you just get disappointed BUTT:

She is really pretty, seems polite and nice and replies fast.
she doesn’t seem confident with guys, a sign she doesn’t have a past. I don’t want my girl to have been touched by another man, she has to be a virgin. I am confident in bed and big 🍆 and tall but I don’t want my woman touched. A woman should belong to one man only!

She also just likes chilling at home and doesn’t have many hobbies or interests - signs of a simple chill girl I can be myself with
She also dresses classy and tasteful not too crazy or anything.

I have a feeling she’s the type of girl that could help me in the future work on what I’ve got going on and be a team player. Like she will adapt more to my life.
She also seems happy to have a big family
