[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, at my age, I know plenty of children who graduated (then) at 17. It was completely to their advantage.

Clearly, the redshirt parents are extremely shortsighted. Often times there are issues that need to be addressed with the redshirted child. The parent thinks "holding them back" (as we always called it) will help. Really, what the child needs instead is for the parent to step up and take measures for the childs behavior in lieu of redshirting.

Again, they are extremely short sighted.

huh?  Maybe they don't want to send their 17 year old off to college.[/quote]

People who don't want their kids to go to college at 17 should just have their kids take a gap year after high school rather than redshirt. Who says they have to go to college right after high school? Most of my friends didn't, and I wish I hadn't either. I don't understand why people feel obliged to start college at 17 just because they started Kindergarten at 4. [/quote]
