[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This stuff stresses me out. I have a summer birthday boy who is small for his age but academically ahead and was planning to let him start K on time in a private school even though he will be the youngest by far. Is he ever going to get to play on any sports teams or am I setting him up to have issues because he will always be the youngest and the smallest? It is easy for parents who are not facing the prospect of their child being the odd one out to frown on the practice. [/quote]

The good news is you don't hanve to worry about it now. If he wants to play sports in HS you can just redshirt him in 8th. There are a few schools that will accommodate you.[/quote]

Probably better to go later for first than to repeat 8th.  I cannot imagine repeating a grade.[/quote]

That is the point of the article. In this area it's not a big deal to repeat, 3rd, 6th ad 8th.

Multiple kids talk to HS coaches and they are accepted if they repeat 8th grade.

If you say I repeated 8th the reaction is oh.  :(  if you say I repeated 8th at Mater Dei it just means a coach asked you to do that or your parents want you to play varsity 4 years and you probably are not going to if you go as a 14 yo. Everybody knows what that means. [/quote]
