[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, people are resdshiritng boys!!!! It has nothing to do with anything else but trying to give them an age advantage. According to my neighbors, it will help them get bigger, faster, and more mature. How mature must one actually be to attend K and 1st grade? It is very typical in both public and private schools.

All we are asking is do not hold our children out of school based on age, if they are ready to move forward. Create a class for the reshirt crew, and let my child move on at his rapid pace. This has nothing to do with competition or fear. Why can't we accept that some humans are simply more advanced than others, and therefore, should not be stifled by the system that wants to dumb down everything and everyone?

Why are we holding back academically prepared kids (especially boys) because of age? It is wrong!!!! We do the same crap on jobs - shut down and harass smart workers.

As one who was 3 years younger than my classmates throughout the process from elementary school all the way to professional school I was not at any disadvantage.  Leave the older kids alone and take care of your own business if you wish to succeed.  We do not need other mothers and fathers to police whose kid is ready or not ready for school.  Join the real world folk.
