[quote=Anonymous]My parents did this to me 30+ years ago, in a district where the cut off is December 1. I hated it. I never felt in sync with my classmates. I made friends in the class I should have been in. Then they all left for college. My senior year was miserable. I was annoyed to still be stuck in high school. Academically I was bored all the way through with a couple exceptions in specials classes. I was top of my class in everything without really having to work for it, so I never really learned how to manage time or study properly, then felt overwhelmingly unprepared in college where everyone was smart, but many had way better study habits than me. I think my parents made the wrong call and it wasn’t based on me personally, it was based on my mother being an upper grade math teacher and her experience that kids who had stayed out an extra year were better able to handle upper level math.
