This thesis discusses and examines the history of kindergarten, the definition of school readiness, factors that led to the emergence of academic redshirting, demographics of children who are typically redshirted, and the consequences of the redshirted population within the kindergarten classroom. Also examined are trends in state and district mandated kindergarten age minimums over the last 50 years. The paper concludes with a policy recommendation for the improvement of early childhood education in the United States and a challenge to those who care about the future of American public education. redshirting delayed entry school readiness kindergarten preschool early childhood education Developmental Psychology Early Childhood Education Elementary Education Psychology School Psychology Social and Behavioral Sciences
