[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your 15 year old starting high school? My 15 year old is going into junior year. Did you hold him back two years?[/quote] Huh? It's pretty common to be 12 in 6th grade, 13 in 7th and 14 in 8th. Most turn 15 in 9th but not at all uncommon to have an August birthday. Also, it's super common to redshirt athletes. Not sure why anyone is fixating on the age here.[/quote] +1 -- the ages you described above are by far the most common to see. So he is merely a tad old for 9th grade if he is already 15 now this summer, but I assume that was due to reshirting, which is also, like you said, plenty common. The person up thread who said freshmen are 13 is just . . . wrong! Speaking of wrong -- you and your kid are wrong that those are the only two camps of kids. Come on! He just hasn't found his tribe, and if that is his explanation, he's misguided and not getting out there enough. [/quote]
