[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why are people acting like these outliers are a huge problem?[/b] It's rare. If it's very common at your school then you and your school are not a fit. Move, if it's public go to a private, if it's private choose another one. The school is fully aware how old these kids are. Attacking people online doesn't change anything. It's also not those kids' faults a child is behind in reading. Keep your eyes on your own paper and get the outside supports your own kid needs before slinging mud at others.[/quote]

Because DCUM anti-redshirters are actually insane, for the most part. They would be in the amusing insane category — so entirely divorced from reality it is funny — but they tend to berate and attack little children, as you have noticed, which just makes them disgusting instead.

Normal parents do not care about these things. They just don’t.

The issue is when you have a huge age range the bullies are generally even worse.  We have that in hs where my 14 year old was in several classes with much older kids and they were nasty and targeted them as they were brighter and more talented.  How do you think kids feel when they are much older and they younger kids outshine them and take away their spotlight.   It’s not a good mix to have 14-15 year olds in with 17-18-19 year olds.  Younger grades it’s no big deal but it is with classes and other 5jungs when kids get older.  Many classes are mixed grade.  So, you think your 17 year old sophomore will be ok with 14 year old freshman in algebra 2 or precal. [/quote]
