hey if a kid needs to stay back for maturity or other legitiment reasons then i am all for it. i have stated that in a earlier post. if this is the case then that is a handful to overcome and there is no time for sports, also when a kid is held back for maturity reasons most of the time they still act immature anyway because they are around immature kids all day long. you can always tell who are the ones do it for sports because they are the ones that yell the loudest with all the lame excuses.quit being ashamed and just admit it and go on QUIT using the immature card. that would put an end to arguments like this one. we all know there are advantages to doing it.

i'm outta here i have better things to do rather than listening to all the whinning and lame excuses of unneccesarly holding kids back because that is exactly what is doing to kids holding them back.

So what are your main reasons for being against holdbacks? Why does it bother you so much if a parent holds their kid back a year, even if it's for sports? Is it because your kid doesn't have a birthday that allows them to holdback? If so, what's the difference in your kid being older than other kids in their grade or someone holding their kid back to be older than your kid?
