[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why you would want to.  It isn’t a rush to finish k-12.  Better for her be the smartest in the class than middle of the pack[/quote]

You can still be the smartest and one of the younger students.  What kid wants to be 18 all of senior year and be the oldest?  Someone hast be the oldest, someone has to be the youngest.  In HS, with a lot of elective and math classes, the kids are mixed age anyway.   Mine will be in an elective with seniors as a freshman.  [/quote]

What? First of all, your premise is wrong…it was great to be one of the very first ones to turn 18 (and 16, and 21…) - that is pretty universally seen as a great thing.

But also, that’s not what we’re talking about here. OP’s kid would turn 17 at the very beginning of senior year, and wouldn’t turn 18 until she’s already moved into college [/quote]

It’s not great but you tell yourself that.  You are lecturing someone with a September kid.  I understand all about it.  My kid will turn 18 a few week into college.  No big deal.  [/quote]

It is universally seen as better to turn 19 a few weeks into college versus 18. Lol.[/quote]

I actually avoided peers in college who were out of sync with me age-wise. It usually suggested they had different priorities (drinking, jail time, community college).[/quote]
