From personal experience of being redshirted myself and having my oldest son redshirted by 6 days, my rejoinder to the Hyson-Stipek opinions (and as stated in the article they are no more than that) is that these educators are simply asserting average prognoses, without regard to whether individuals might benefit discretely." -Tom Roberts
"Brooke's point though is suppose we held Griffin backk a year and then he was in a gym class with a Robert Reich. Griffin could eat him for lunch, never mind what might happen plaking Kill the Guy with the Football." -Orrin Judd
"The best thing would be if everyone held their kid back, so you wouldn't have that problem. Hopefully, we could start a positive feedback loop where parents would eventually just keep the kids out of public schools all together." -Orrin Judd's brother.
Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
