I think that given the choice I would select Verginia every time.
What if the only way you could get the choice is by deferring your start by a year?
I assume the answer is yes.
Holding your child back a year is not cheating. It is understanding how a system works and operating effectively in that system. If it didn't work, parents would either stop reclassifying their children or complain about those of us who are forcing our children to graduate HS on time.
I hate the system, but it is the only system we have.
