Big V man everyone isn't 6'7-275 like u. Some need and extra year to grow. Lol

Haha Well you got me there. However I will say that if I had been held back, it probably would have benefitied me somewhat athleticly, but not otherwise, and personally I would have hated it. And again, I'm saying I don't agree with holding back for the purpose of athletics, which is why it is being done the VAST majority of the time.

Someone posted that they wish they would have been held back as they had just turned 17 when they graduated. That I would have no problem with, in that situation the student is actually younger than the class average and maybe they don't fit in as well or lack some maturity and could use another year. But guys graduating when they are almost 20? Come on now.

Someone also said the reason it's being done in parts of KY is becasue of low grades/test scores. Nope...being done so little Johnny can grow another inch or put on 20 pounds and hopefully compete better in "X" sport. At least it's being done enough that its an issue, I know EVERY case isn't becasue of sports.
