IAC for DC, VA privates has the same rule. Couldn't happen in public right so where do these kids go? Or maybe the double holdback is a myth. More likely people refer to a kid born in Sept-Nov and does a hold back year, as a double hold back. Not really double. but since he would already be old for his normal grade, pretty bad form if not for purely academic/medical reasons. Such a kid could in fact be 2 years older than a kid in NY with a Nov bday, but not held back twice
The kids have to feel weird in school ..to go thru HS and be that much older then everyone else has to effect them psychologically.I feel bad because it's the parents that force these kids to do it.. Listen if your kid is good don't worry about the age difference . The cream will rise to the top, don't worry about kids verbally agreeing to a school it means nothing. The only kids that are 14-15 that commit are the ones who's parents went to a school or they have a connection to a school. These kids have no idea what they want to do yet at this age and any parent who tells you different is even more crazy. How does AF get kids to commit at this age? It's like the draft starts at age 14 instead of 18..Lets be real
