[quote=Anonymous]When I hear about situations like these I don't make assumptions about the kids- they are powerless in these situations. I make a hell of a lot of assumptions about the parents- that they are the helicopter type or else the super competitive type who wants their kid to be the biggest/smartest/fastest kid in their elementary school class/get sports or academic scholarships etched. Instead they usually end up with kids who are bored in class and often underperform as a result. Because theyay have a big size advantage they aren't challenged athletically and can rely on size vs skill and also ultimately are average once their more skilled peers catch up to them in size. I see it backfire more than help a child. Red shirting for no reason is stupid.[/quote]
