[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A young woman used to work in my office part time during college summers. She had a male twin. Her parents started her on time and kept her brother back. They were very, very close and she at least said it was the right decision. Throughout elementary school and high school she was a much better student and felt it would have been tough for her brother to be in the same grade and not be in all the advanced classes or win the same academic accolades. They attended the same school. She was one of the top students her year. The next year, her brother was an above average student, but wasn't the top student she was.

Holding her brother back also resulted in him making some sports teams that he probably would not have made if he had been in the older grade. He wasn't someone who was going to be recruited to play in college, but he enjoyed high school a lot more because he was good enough to play on a couple of high school teams.

As I said before, the twins were very close. She said she was really glad they were in different years. [/quote]
I would be more interested to hear how HE felt. She may be unaware since she was in the dominant position. [/quote]
