Homeschool bro, it's a pain in the arse but it'll payoff when we're retired with that NFL money.

Seems like there's always one kid in each grade that repeats kindergarten. The parents think it's best because their child isn't ready but it's a killer because that kid gets bagged on for the rest of his school life.

Teach them nothing from birth, not even how to talk or use the toilet. Boom, got you an automatic redshirt!

I know too many parents that redshirted their kids for bullshite reason and celebrate all their kids awards in 2nd and 3rd grade. No shite your kids seems advanced around kids a whole year young plus fact they will be 19 graduating high school. Loser parents.

In California, they start kindergarten earlier than anywhere else. And we knew we were moving to Georgia which has an older kindergarten. So I repeated kindergarten.

Parkview Baptist tried to redshirt Pimp Jr when he was in Kindergaten. Even though he had solid grades and no behavioral issues they said "he has a low attention span". I said "no shite, he's in kindergarten". I said hell no and burned that front office down.I literally yelled at them. Now that he's going into his sophomore year at BRMHS I realize even more how stupid and counterproductive that would have been.

My youngest daughter actually skipped kindergarten. She went from pre-K to 1st grade,and now she's the youngest girl in 8th grade. She makes straight A's and is a social butterfly. So we went the other direction and it worked out perfectly.

Usually parents do it for young kids, especially born in July or August.

My parents wanted to hold me back because they didn't want me to be the youngest in my class. But the teachers said I was fine and had all the required skills, like, color inside the lines, reading. The only thing I remember sucking at was using scissors.

Just hire a tutor for those travel ball trips. Once he gets drafted, he won't have to worry about SAT scores anyway.

Ohhhh.... You're talking about those poor kids that unfortunately get passed on bad genes and end up having to repeat Kindergarten.... Yeah what about that again?

My nephew's birthday is Oct 1, the day after the cutoff. His parents held him back to the next year, no pushback from the school. Another kid in his class, a girl, had the same birthday and her parents did the same thing. Both just finished 8th grade and doing great. Both tallest in the class instead of shortest, both making straight A's and both socially well-adjusted. I wouldn't hold a kid back if they're already one of the oldest in the class, but if it's borderline, waiting has a lot of advantages. And I wouldn't make them repeat a grade, it's better to just wait a year to start school.

My brother graduated HS at a young 17, and it wasn't an issue until he got to college, where he struggled the first year due to immaturity.

Red shirted all 3 of mine and got 3 athletic scholarships. I loved watching my 2 sons run through those little arm tackles from those scrawny kids.
