A child turning 19 as a junior?!? That strikes me as complete bullshit. Please show us some examples of 19-year-old juniors. I'm sure some must exist somewhere in the nation, but I bet you can't find any significant number. And if anyone on DCUM claims to have a 19-year-old junior at your school, I dare you to name the school so that others can verify your claim.

I don't have strong views on redshirting (pro or con), but this is where the anti-redshirting crowd always loses all credibility for me. Why do you have to exaggerate so much? If you want to complain about how a large number of kids that are 6+ months over the traditional age lines are messing up classroom dynamics for the other students, then I can at least understand your concern. But when anti-redshirters try to convince me with dire predictions of a mythical 19-year-old junior or packs of 20-year-old seniors preying on my 14-year-old freshman daughter, I think you're just bullshitting.

If you want to convince people, don't oversell so much.[/quote]
