[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold her back. Pretty much anywhere else in the country she wouldn’t be eligible to go. The Ny thing makes no sense - kids going to college at 17[/quote]

Mine kid will turn 18 a few weeks after starting college.  No big deal.  Why lose a year of your life being held back?[/quote]

Omg she would be GAINING a year of life by holding her!  Not losing.  She gains another year of development — socially, emotionally, academically, physically, in every way — before having to deal with expectations of school.  Absolutely give her this GIFT[/quote]

Don’t forget to remind her of “the gift” when she’s a 19yo senior. [/quote]

Exactly.  And, when they are starting college a year older, which delays them graduating for a year and their friends graduate at 22 and they are 23-24.  That's not a gift. The gift is to be done with school and move on with your life.  The gift is taking that extra $10-50K you spend on an extra year of preschool and pay for graduate school or a downpayment for a house.  You cannot gift time.  You can gift college, graduate school, money or stuff.  Time happens regardless.[/quote]
