[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big difference in age is very apparent in middle school and, for boys, that big difference continues through the high school years. For girls, who hit physical maturity a couple years earlier, they will be grown by the time they are in high school. Go talk to a middle school counselor. Heck, just look at a middle school year book. Gee - who are the older kids and who are the younger kids? It’s not rocket science. If you want your kid to have a decent chance of getting through middle school and high school relatively unscathed, they cannot be young for their grade. [/quote] So that makes it even more of a mystery as to why redshirting is so rare.[/quote] Haven't we gone full circle on this yet? It's expensive to wait another year. Most people who are on the cusp wouldn't be able to do another year of daycare, preschool, etc. It's a financial decision.[/quote]
