[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a girl who turned 15 in March of 8th grade in my dd's class - she was way more mature and academically advanced than most of the kids in 8th- I'm sure she's going to love being still in High School at 19...[/quote]

She is not more mature or advanced just older.  [/quote]

+1 I bet her parents are simple swelling with pride to know that she's outshining kids as much as 21 months younger than her.[/quote]

It doesn’t impede anyone else. Such a bizarre thing to harp on.[/quote]

Yes, it does hurt other kids actually. This student is probably going to be valedictorian 4 years from now at 19, which means that the 17/18 year old who will truly have deserved to be valedictorian will be robbed of that honor. This student will probably get into Harvard/Berkeley/Yale/UCLA/Princeton/Stanford/MIT 4 years from now, which means there will one student who genuinely deserved to go to a top-of-the-world college and won't because of someone they shouldn't have had to have competed against.[/quote]

Do you always sound like you’re reading If You Give A Mouse A Cookie? But thanks for the laugh.[/quote]

Are you always an unclever idiot?[/quote]

DP. I thought it was spot on and hilarious.

Antiredshirters can’t do math. And have no humor.  :lol:

Are antiredshirters a thing?  And they collectively can't do math.  That is a new one.  Good work. [/quote]

You must be new to DCUM.  :lol:
