[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Come back when your kid hits middle school and report back on how he's doing. Thats when the difference really shows up. I have met many parents who are trying to figure out how to get their kid to lose a year as they approach high school (changing schools is about the best and only way). They are proud that their kid is so smart when they start out but they see them struggle socially and in sports later.[/quote] +2 If your small boy is bookish and not interested in athletics, maybe he won't care as much. But if he's small yet athletic, it's a big problem come middle school and high school. [/quote] Schadenfreude, anyone? No one can predict what your kid's needs will be ten years from now. Do what's right for her or him now. If your child's biggest problem is not making varsity in high school, you have done a great job. [/quote]
