[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Redshirting a child doesn’t make them smarter, faster, or stronger. It’s just an optical illusion. [/quote] That "optical illusion" can open up a lot of doors in life.[/quote] Explain please. [/quote] Colleges and employers don't care about age, even though it makes a difference. No Ivy League is going to look at an 18 year old's application and go, "Well, this student's grades and test scores are off the chart, but that's only because they're a year older. If they were the same age as the other candidates, they wouldn't qualify for this university." No 6-figure-salary employer is going to look at the application of someone who graduated high school at 18 and college at 22 and go, "Well, this candidate is more qualified for our position than anyone else, but if had graduated high school at 17 and college at 21, this wouldn't be the case."[/quote]
