[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this school still hold all the boys back? At least those with spring and summer birthdays? [/quote] They don't require it. They might recommend it. Ned Williams, the former headmaster, who had a Doctorate from Harvard in Education, believed that being older had academic and social benefits for boys.[/quote] It also has huge benefits for the boys in athletics, which is the reason why many MD families reclass their boys. The school historically is very permissive there too. [/quote] I heard they won't admit kids who are May-Aug birthdays unless they reclass. May just be rumor though [/quote] They don't call it Mater Delay for nothing.[/quote] That’s Major Delay. And yes that’s absolutely true - you will have kids turning 15 in your son’s 8th grade class.
