"BL does not encourage it. In fact, parents in my son's class had to threaten to pull their son and send him to St. Pauls to get BL to allow him to repeat"

Boys Latin has a huge amount of boys that were either prefirst,heldback,holdback or reclassified..whatever you want to call it...All means the same thing...They are older than the all the rest of grade except boys like them.

This also says alot about parents that go to BL and the rest of the MIAA schools...If they didnt let him repeat he had another MIAA school ready to let their child repeat...The reason I say that is BL wanted him to continue,and BL loves their holdbacks as it has a huge amount of kids heldback... wow!!
