[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People wait until you get into high school. Those refugee kids splattered all over local schools are 17yr old freshman. There are 21yr old kids in high school. It is insane.

But yes the redshirting is insane. My friend's son just turned 16 as a freshman and was 7 in K. I think there should be a minimum and maximum age.

This is only a one year difference.  Most freshmen turn 15 in 9th and most kindergarteners turn 6 in K.  There is nothing insane about a year's difference.  My kids are friends with kids who are a year older or a year younger than they are.  DS was a mature kid for a 5 year old and gravitated toward the two 7 year old kids in the neighborhood.  Guess what, they are still his best friends.  Am I to cut off the friendship be cause there is a two year difference.  Will you never put your kids on sports teams with kids who are a year older.  No playdates at homes with older siblings?  Send older siblings to live with grandma lest they corrupt younger siblings.  My point is, kids are constantly exposed to kids a year older.  [/quote]
