Two and a half years older ??? The vast majority of holdbacks are 3 to 9 months older. Stop making excuses for Tommy - maybe he just isn't good enough.


My son who is now in HS does know a few kids who re-classed. Some did late starts, some did it just before 8th and 9th grade. However in all cases I know of, these kids were not the tallest or biggest kids. They were not the ones people think are holdbacks.
