[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear people only think in the moment, because if they thought longer term they would realize their child will be a 20 or 21-year-old HS senior. We didn't red shirt our child with the late-summer birthday, and she will graduate HS at 17. It will give her an earlier start on finishing her undergrad degree by 22, and grad school by 25. I'd rather help her get an earlier start on her career rather than kindergarten.[/quote] You'd have to start at 8 to end up a 21 year old HS senior. That doesn't happen. Kids with disabilities can stay in the public school system until 21 (and sometimes do), though, so there is precedent for it. But they aren't usually called seniors, it's just that they continue to receive services in transitional classes.[/quote]
