Easy answer. Good!

1. kids get another year of maturity.

2. another year at home, what parent does not want that?

3. Should be ahead in the academic part of school with extra year

4. if they do play sports it will only help them in development

All excellent points.

The first 3 is exactly why I held my kid back he would have graduated at 17 but now will graduate at 18.

The only problem I have with holding back even though it is by KHSAA rules is holding a kid back to finish school at 19.
In my opinion the only reason this was done was because of sports.
