Okay,, forget the holdback issue,, I also have a child that was held back in 3rd grade..And yes I agree, it was the best thing for him....He started school at 5 because his birthday is tomorrow. September 30th,, cut off for school was October 1st. So basically he started school at 4 then turned 5 before the cut off. So I agree 100% with the parents decision..

Point 2-
Russell usually will not let a kid get that far behind to be in this situation but if it does they will look at what is missing or not turned in. A child can turn in missed work but only gets partial credit if it is late.... So they get a chance to make upwhat they missed but at a fraction of the score.. This is the universal rule for any kid, sports or not.

I never meant to come across as being negative,, What I was trying to point out is this team does not have any kid that was in the 6th grade last year.. THATS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY !!!!!!! SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.....

Grades are important and they should be,, all of my kids know that,, We do not have practice on a church night at all!!!!!

If a child is "heldback" do to grades then that child can not participate in any sports.
I agree 100%%%%%%%%!!!!!!
