[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I think it's weird if you start your senior year of HS already 18.[/quote]

My kid has an early September birthday that usually falls before Labor Day and before the start of school.  He will be 18 his entire senior year and was not redshirted. The kids don’t really pay that much attention except if it’s an election year and a few of them can vote.  [/quote]

The kids pay attention more than you realize.[/quote]

NP. My fall bday teen who was not intentionally redshirted (and has jumped back and forth over the line depending on where we lived and the school cutoff) is now a junior in HS. He has told me before that his age just wasn't that big a deal over the years.

Now, I'm not saying DCUM's crazy parents with their stalker spreadsheets tracking other kids birthdays aren't keeping close track, and God knows what those weird creepers teach their poor kids. But to normal kids? It's just not a big deal. [/quote]
