[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate these threads.  It always deteriorates into people posting about kids with special circumstances that justify holding them back or waiting another year to start.  No one is saying that is a problem at all.  People object to parents holding back kids just so that they can be better at sports, older, or more mature than other kids in the class.  It is the trend of doing that which bothers those of us who had no choice (financially) but to send our kids on time.  No one objects to particular kids who may have valid reasons to have been redshirted. [/quote]

NP here.  Yes, you are correct.  I get it, really I do.  However, I have a kid who was held back for legitimate academic and social reasons.  Not to play a sport.  He is low tone with motor delays, so he is not into sports and will never play on any teams.  I get flack from people about the fact that he is held back though.  Believe me, it was the right thing to do for him, and it's none of anyone's business.  I also have a summer birthday child who I would have never dreamed of holding back.  I don't get why people would hold an academically ready child back.  I think doing it for sports is a really stupid reason.[/quote]
