[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading comprehension skills appear to be in short supply in this thread.

Reread what the OP stated. The mom of the 13 year old 6th grader admitted it was for advantage. So, take all your 'you don't know what theyre going through' rationalizations and shove them someplace dark and stinky.

For the poster claiming it's not a competition, get back to me when your kids are applying to college. It is ABSOLUTELY a competition, by definition even. Christ, getting into TJ is cut throat and that's just a HS.

UVA doesn't take every senior from every HS. If you have kid A that's 19 and been competing against kid B who is 17 you can damn well be sure the 19 year old will have a better shot at admission.

Maybe this cuts too close for some of you. You don't like be called out for gaming the system.[/quote]

No, I just find anti-redshirt posters on DCUM to be so free of critical thinking skills that it's entertaining to engage. Though it is rather like shooting fish in a barrel.[/quote]

Funny, I find proponents of redshirting to be closet racists. Doesn't even take critical thinking skills to see it. We get it. You don't like your kids being around brown kids doing as well as yours so you hold them back so theyre a year older.[/quote]
