[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD just mentioned a classmate is 15. Is that common around here?[/quote] No, that's not common at all. That classmate is 2 years behind. Kids in nth grade are usually (n+5) years old. So an 8th grader would be 13, while a 15-year-old would be in 10th grade. In-fact, an 8th grader with a September birthday(maybe even also a late August birthday if the school year started in late August) would be 12 at the start of the year, so an 8th grader being 15 at any point in the year would be unspeakably rare. Honestly, I feel really sorry for your daughter and the rest of her age-appropriate classmates. It can't be easy competing with someone two years older than you. And to think, this kid is probably graduating middle school at the top of his or her class and will get to make a speech at the graduation, even though any 15-year-old would look good next to a group of 13-year-olds.[/quote]
