[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the school year the begins when they are 21.  So if they turn 22 they stay until graduation of that year.[/quote]

Twenty one is only for esol and special ed[/quote]

There are kids like mine starting high school as 13 year olds. What dumbass decided an adult old enough to buy alcohol and who could be arrested for statuatory rape or sex with a minor if he dated any of his classmates should remain in traditional school?

21 year olds do not belong in high school.

20 should only be for special ed.

Everyone else should go to an alternative high school once they hit 19.

I knew a handful of people who turned 19 right before graduating. I'd rather have them around and in class than have 13 year olds in high school[b]. (Traditionally a student turns 13 in 7th grade.)[/b]

Not August bday kids in most states.

And for states where the kindergarten cut off is December (Hawaii and[b] California are two places that come to mind[/b]) at least 1/3 of the class is 13 when starting high school.

19-21 year old men do not belong in high school with 13-15 year old teens, unless there is a documented special ed reason.

Red shirting for sports is not a good enough reason.[/quote]
CA has changed its laws around this.  In a couple of years time, the cut off will be Sept 1 for K.  No redshirting allowed unless with a doctor's note.

Those with bdays from Sept 1 to Dec cut off are offered Transitional K program.[/quote]
