[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]

Are you really this bad at math?

A kid who starts high school at 15 will graduate at 18 if they are a summer birthday (most common in kids who are redshirted) or 19 if their birthday is earlier.

Also infantile is not a verb.[/quote]

All anti-redshirters are bad at math. The vast majority of redshirted kids are summer birthdays who are 18 their entire senior year and turn 19 before their freshman year of college. Really not a big deal.

For my kid, music has been his ticket to a great friend group. Kids who are serious about music can defer gratification enough to force themselves to practice - I think that’s why they’re mostly not up to sketchy stuff.[/quote]
