[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In ACPS it's gotten ridiculous. I know of two 13 year olds in my son's 6th grade homeroom. They're almost two years older than some of their classmates. I can't believe the school system tolerates it. These boys could be 19.5 at HS graduation. Think about that. What I fins amusing is how the parent's narrative has shifted over the years. When the kids were in K, or 1 it was all " Ohh, you're not redshirting him?! You do know that boys mature more slowly, right?! You're denying him an advatage!" Now, when people give odd looks at the thought of an eighth grader with a learners permit they stay completely mum. It's like theyre embarrassed.[/quote] If these kids are two years older, is it possible that they are immigrants who had not been in school when they arrived here? I cannot come up with another explanation. A redshirted kid is only one year older.[/quote]
