don't know where you get your info from but bell county has had a holdback program for years. I remember watching the dominique carton(i think that was his name) class with jd hilton, maden and others play in middle school. That 8th grade group was together... In 8th grade.... For 2 years. Dudley even bragged about their holdbacks at a middle school game being held at pulaski high. Saw them 2 years in a row. Whitley and corbin most definitely have allowed holdbacks over the years. Remember the basketball run whitley made in middle school 5-6 years ago? That entire team was held back. The head coach was telling us about it one night at northern middle. So, let's not act like all the schools are pristine and soooo much better, ethically, than northern, southern or meece.
Everyone is going nuts about holdbacks. My question has been from the beginning is: What's the difference in starting a kid a year late, holding them back in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th grade, or holding back in middle school? None!!!! No one has even answered that. All i get is "holding back is wrong, cheating", etc... If you choose to let your kid go to school a year early and leave home at 17, that's your right as a parent. If i choose to let my kid start school a year later, hold him back in elementary or middles school, and have him at home as long as i can that's my right.
Our children grow up and leave home fast enough and life is hard, so what's wrong with giving my child every opportunity to succeed in life? If staying at home that one extra year helps in any way at all i say it's a great thing!

hey maroon you keep not answering my question why not hold em back as freshmen when there are more choices in classes, college prep classes etc. Hold em back in middle school and they just take the same classes over again i already know the answer because it isnt about the kids best interest it is about how did you put it oh yea "domination"
