Holding kids back for sports is waste of taxpayers [COLOR="SeaGreen"]$[/COLOR]:HitWall: :HitWall: :HitWall: :ban: :ban: :graduate:

Let's be honest goal line, you aren't concerned with test scores, or a distinguished score on the CATS test, or the fact that some of these "hold backs" will be able to take advanced Math classes in high school, or that they have advanced writing skills. The only score that you are primarily concerned about is the score on the score board.

If your argument against "hold backs" is that they are bigger and you are concerned with other kids safety, then that's a valid concern. Some places in Kentucky have weight limits to certain positions in football. I don't know if a weight limit would help in basketball or not. If you are concerned that they are too old, then that has already been addressed. But to argue that more education is a bad thing and that money spent on better preparing a kid for high school/college is a waste, is a weak point.
