Abstract
Redshirting is a common practice in modern schools, and occurs both for academic and sporting activities. The review herein explores some of the existing research on the subject with the intention of exemplifying some of the underlying theories related to the practice. According to the different research studies herein analyzed, financial reasons tend to be the primary cause for engagement in redshirting. Additionally, parents are often aware of the practice and will often encourage it, largely due to the consequences it has on the children’s welfare. Further, the research provides recommendations primarily on the development of policies intent on addressing the issue in school. However, the research also confirms that further research is necessary to guarantee extensive success in implementing any intervention measures.
