[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some people refuse to believe it, but the older kids end up doing better in school. It's not surprising that people who can swing redshirting do it. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/18/544483397/oldest-kids-in-class-do-better-even-through-college [/quote] The thing is, though, that competition isn't important child. Some people just don't have a very competitive streak.[/quote] It's not just competing with other kids, its living up to the expectations of teachers. It's also true that younger kids are more often referred to testing for supposed learning disabilities or other issues because they fidget more and can't conform to the rules of the classroom which creates a whole set of other issues to deal with. Which isn't fair to kids who are just young for the grade and younger than peers. They are being compared against older kids, like it or not.[/quote]
