[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Yeah, but do these kids really feel satisfied with their victories knowing they had a massive advantage over their competitors? If you won a race on a motorcycle when everyone else was riding bicycles, would you truly be able to feel proud of yourself? I know that I’d much rather do okay in something playing by the rules than excel by cheating.[/quote]

How is it cheating when it is explicitly allowed? [/quote]

It’s only unfair because economically advantaged people can afford an extra year of preschool.[/quote]

But plenty of people who can afford it don't do it. So why do some people get so worked up about the few who do? What are they so mad about?[/quote]
