Maybe we can start a petition that you actually understand the holdback issue before you post. The 2 examples you gave are both legitimate reasons for a kid being held back a grade. The issue with holdbacks is that kids are being held back specifically to gain an athletic advantage. No one cares about age in high school lacrosse, and if they do they are morons because all the kids can make up for the age difference with weight and speed/agility training since they have matured through puberty.
