[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With most types of injuries, they still come back and play.  And if you have a younger (summer birthday) student, what is the rush to graduate at 17 if they fortunately don't have to work immediately after graduation for financial reasons?  They would continue to advance in subjects as they can, taking college level math and language  their senior year... Don't think it's any worse to do 5 years of high school vs repeating 8th grade as long as graduating at age 18 and doing well in classes.[/quote]

What about social reasons? My son and his friends would talk about someone who they went to elementary through middle school with who all of the sudden showed up a grade younger than them. Awkward![/quote]

Your son and his friends aren't competitive athletes in competitive sports like basketball, I assume.

Its common enough that kids aren't surprised by it or find it "awkward". They all know its to gain a competitive advantage. We are at a large FCPS and I know at least 5 boys basketball players who reclassed 8th grade. [/quote]
