# 5 Freudian slip - 17 when you were a freshman. LOL
One of the kids on the list drove his moms Audi Q7 to the UA games at Towson without his parents in the car. 16 1/2 before he starts his sophomore year. There were kids on those 2020 UA teams that were 14. Nah - no advantage there - nothing to see here - it's high school.
You described a really early birthday holdback and a really late birthday non-holdback. What's your point? On average, private school classes are a year older than public. You pointed out a couple kids on the wide edge of each spectrum, rare, but naturally going to exist. It's still just repeating one grade, which is common practice. Some of these kids are not too bright, so it's not a bad decision by parents. You know public parents would do it more if the curriculum was readily available. Private schools aren't going to go backwards, and government is not going to go forward, so this is what you get. I've never seen a petition going on at a lax event, so I guess just whine on here if that makes you feel better.
