And it just happens that your precious "babies" are bigger, stronger and faster. Oh....I forgot, OLDER. But it is all about their academic progress. Funny how that works.
yes, we time them in the 40 foot crawl, see who can roll over in their cribs the fastest and who can hold their head up the longest.

I bet if you asked the parents of the holdbacks if sports was the reason or at least a big factor in their decision to hold their kid back and they were being honest they would tell you that it was. Maybe it's not technically cheating because the school district allows parents to do that but it's still an unfair advantage and that's why everyone is calling BS on this academic development spin. And it may be the new reality but doesn't mean it's right.
You're calling BS because some kids are 2-3 weeks older than the majority, and the team they are on is very good. You just can't let it go. I can guarantee you academic/emotional development was THE ONLY factor.

The average age right now of a 5th grader is probably about 10 and 1/2. A kid born in Oct. or Nov. 2003 is 11. That's a 6 month difference. It matters at these young ages.
