[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can immediately tell the 15 year old 8th graders walking into my class on the first day of school. Not in a good way. I have no idea why they're 15 when they get to me (maybe held back, maybe red shirted, maybe moved from another country), but generally they have a "too good for middle school" attitude and hang out with mostly high school kids. There are social struggles being both the oldest and the youngest. Neither is ideal.[/quote] Are you getting a lot of 15 year olds on the first day of 8th grade every year? A redshirted kid would be 14 on the first day of 8th grade, so I can imagine you have a number of them, but 15 is two years behind, so that would be less common, I would think. [/quote]
