Re: Keeping your kid back in eighth grade

Public high school hockey leads straight to beer league. Makes sense to be 21 by graduation.

Re: Keeping your kid back in eighth grade

99.9% of paths lead to beer league. That $70-100k you're dropping for 4 years of Catholic school education won't get the kid any closer to podium on draft day.

Re: Keeping your kid back in eighth grade

This is mandatory in Arlington

Re: Keeping your kid back in eighth grade

Re: Keeping your kid back in eighth grade

LOL.....I think I'll hold my kid back in Mites.....give him time to fill out.....you people are funny

Re: Keeping your kid back in eighth grade

Publics don't do it because they don't really transfer in. Catholics are famous for it and preps it is pretty much mandatory. They sell the parnets on "oh it's better for your kids education because we are so advanced here..." When really it's the hockey, football, lax coaches all wanting 19 year old men playing against kids. Think about it, cut a high school in half and take away the most motivated, diligent students (the girls) and then you think you have a superior academic institution? Beeotch please.

I'm not tracking with your post. Do you think prep schools are all boys? They're the exception. There are also as many female athletes as male athletes in Prep schools. And, if it's pretty much mandatory at all the preps, exactly how are 19 year olds playing against "kids?" Wouldn't they all be the same ages? Sorry your boy isn't a "motivated, diligent student."
