[quote=Anonymous]Because our kids started in a different educational system, they are "young" for the U.S. school system. It's weird because their friends are learning how to drive, etc. but they thrive academically. Of course, in terms of sports, it's a different story. I would hazard, given the American obsession with sports, that is a driving factor for holding children back. If you are pinning your child's college hopes on an athletic scholarship, it's a very rational choice to hold them back. But, given how many are being held back, one has to wonder if the advantage is now being lost.[/quote]
