I would have to argue with you Barrel. In my opinion a 19 year old Senior is much more mature physically and mentally than a 17 year old Senior. The rate of Puberty if anything makes a big difference. A 19 year old decision making skills are much more advanced than a 17 year old in most cases. I do agree that a 15 year old 8th grader in most cases is much more coordinated and physical compared to a 13 year old 8th grader and it does give a huge advantage to the 15 year old, not a problem in my book though, those that do not hold their child back has no room to complain because they have the same opportunity to hold their children back, whether they do or don't means nothing to me because they had their chance to make that decision.

Maybe people want their kids to move forward not backwards. Maybe people who hold their kids back have no room to complain about people who do not hold their kids back complaining. They should know the complaining is comming and they themselves had the same opportunity to not hold their kids back.
I will agree that a 19 yr old has a maturity advantage over a 17 yr old as long as they think like a 19 yr old and not the 17yr olds they graduate with.Just a thought.
