thank you for being willing to admit it was for sports .

your right it is the parents business what they do with their children, however i along with everybody else is sick and tired of the lame excuses why they do it.when i have to listen to it over and over then it becomes my business,or you got this hulking 15 yr old blasting a 13yr old when the 15 yr old has no business being held back in the first place then yeah that's my business too.

and about the wasted tax dollars what about the people that have no kids i bet they like paying for a second year.

how can you expect a kid to mature when they are with kids less mature then they are all day?that is just a excuse.

oh yeah studies show that kids that are held back have the greater drop out rates than ones that don't get held back.thats got to be real good for the maturity of a child. and before anyone starts hollering weres the proof ,go sit in a inservice meeting for 8 hrs and hear it for yourself from people are smarter than all of us.

wow:thumpsup: :Cheerlead ytb your smarter than you look.:theman:
