Educate yourself from this form? Um, ok, good luck. Lol
I think the it is reasonable to come to this forum for education/feedback. How you use some of the "advice" is up to you.
Please entertain some questions. If your boy Johnny was born in March 2000, what decisions would you make as a parent?
It is the summer of 2005. You need to decide whether to enroll him in Kindergarten. Do you send him? Or keep him home (reclass to 2019)? -what if he was struggling with Pre-K reading? -what if he is physically immature?
It is January of 2014. Johnny is a 2nd line middie on a pretty good lax team but hasn’t reached puberty. Do you send him to a private school to repeat 8th grade? -what if he was also struggling academically? -what if he was a straight “A” student? -what if w/o lax his middle school grades looked “Patriot” but with lax his grades were “Ivy”?
In the spring of 2015 he is playing varsity as a freshman and Maryland or Syracuse want to early verbal him. Does he agree? -what if he was struggling in the classroom? -what if he has “Ivy” grades and a decent PSAT under his belt already?
In the Summer of 2016 UNC approaches but tells him they are done with 2018s. Does he agree to post grad?
It is April 2018 he just received admission to Columbia to go Pre-Med. Wagner is rounding out their recruiting class and makes him an offer. Does he make a late switch for lacrosse?
Reclass, Repeat 8th grade, then PG. Be the most popular stud freshman on the lax team at Harvard and be able to buy beer for all the girls. Get into med school and become a doctor without the columbia pre med.
