Parents just admit the unfair advantages of the holdback situation, and say you think it should change at the youth level. I don’t think most hold backs stayed back due to academics. So stop defending the holdback scenario as no big deal!

look worry about your kid. Do what you think is best for your kid, if I hold back my kid for 2 years, thats my business, and my $$ for school, it has no impact on you. If you think that my kid is athletically benefitting for being older, then maybe, if it matters that much to you, you should hold your kid back.
in teh end, take care of your kid, do what YOU think is best for THEM, and stop whinning, because you made a decision knowing the factors that were and still are out there..
