[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]Also, it's super common to redshirt athletes.[/b]

Not sure why anyone is fixating on the age here.[/quote]

Um, no it's not.  It's so weird to infantile your kids and have them graduating high school 2 years after they turn adults [/quote]

It is regardless of your personal opinion on it.  Colleges don't care how old their athletes are.  It's also more common the stronger the high school is in sports.

BTW, that means most graduate high school as 19 year olds vs. 18 year olds.[/quote]

It is stupid to redshirt some poor little kid so he’ll be the big kid in tee ball.   He ends up not being very good at sports so it ends up being a poor choice.

The talented athletes who aren’t quite there at graduation, maybe need to mature a little go to a prep school for a year on scholarship and then on to college.  This makes a whole lot more sense.   [/quote]

Ahhhh, the $90k PG year of high school. An elegant solution. [/quote]
