They may not have any dui's but the one i talked with had 2 jobs, a mortage, and some kinda baby mama drama going on. Hold back parents all you are telling me is your child can not compete with kids there own age. Well maybe they could "compete" i forget it is "domination" you are looking for

When you enter college, the job force, or military after high school, do they ask if you were a hold back? Being a veteran myself, I can most certainly tell you there is a WORLD of difference in a kid graduating at 17 and one graduating at 18 going on 19. Life is competition! What's wrong with giving a child every opportunity to succeed? Whether it is in the classroom, on the football field, in the job force, or even the military, give them EVERY opportunity to be better. Another year of maturity does just that. I have asked this many, many times and have not received an answer: What's the difference in an 18 year old Senior who started school late and an 18 year old Senior who was held back? Even though the kid is not a "hold back" but has a good birthday, and is older than others in his class, does it make a difference? OR, what if I hold my child back in kindergarten or 1st, 2nd grade? Would all these complainers be on here, well, complaining so much?
