[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Who the hell cares? I don't know about you, but when I was in college, either being 21 or having a decent enough fake ID was a social benefit, not a handicap. I'm not endorsing under-age drinking, but seriously, a 19 y.o. freshman? Who. the. hell. cares? "Don't red-shirt your child because he'll be among the oldest in his university freshman class" has to be the least persuasive argument ever. [/quote] Actually, I would care, not about the age at which my child starts college, but about delaying my kids for a year for such a silly reason. It's not the "oldest freshman," but the "oldest high school senior." I don't want a kid forced to be living under my roof as an 18-year-old senior if they're ready for more. Lots of kids aren't ready for college at 17, but many are. There are many arguments about red-shirting, but "trying again for the preschool lottery" is pretty stupid, if you ask me.[/quote]
