[quote=Anonymous][quote] I actually agree with your assessment. When we decided to redshirt our late Sept. child, we did come to the conclusion that it would be very difficult for our child to graduate with the current pressure to succeed in high school at 17 and attend college at that age as well. Now you have to have accomplishments before going onto college and take a year's worth of college credits in high school we're told. So basically I'm still starting my 17 year old in college at 17, it's just that the classes are being taught in high school. [/quote] GREAT response. College today has so many more freedoms and opportunities for "issues" than when I went. Frankly, I think a "gap" year for all high school grads might not be a bad idea! [/quote]
