[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS teacher on my lunch break. Plenty of freshman are extremely immature and are different people by the time they are seniors. That isn’t a reason to have him repeat. Is your son an elite athlete? Are you spending lots of time, money and energy and already thinking about college recruiting? Some kids do actually repeat a year for sports. I think it’s crazy but it happens more than you think in this area. I’ve never heard of it for maturity but know quite a few boys who have for athletics. [/quote] Super athletes have a five year high school transcript if they haven’t already been red shirted out of the gate, age 6 kindergarten. Athletes do 9th grade right after 8th, then go to boarding school or monteverde, homeschooling and repeat 9th grade. Onward and upward. [/quote]
