[quote=Anonymous]Anyone read this article? http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/youngest-kid-smartest-kid In sum: Redshirting may have a benefit in school performance early on. But by 8th grade it evens out. And by college, it's actually the youngest ones in the class who end up being the most successful, and end up earning more than those who were held back. Theoretically, it's because the youngest ones always had to reach and strive, and this gave them the life skills to be more successful. Whereas the ones who were held back, get used to having everything come easily to them and are less equipped to overcome obstacles. [/quote]
