Thank you.......and for the poster that said it had a soccer mom feel to it. Lol Well I assure you that you couldn't be further from the truth. 30 year Army combat Vet. here. Played for Army back several years ago. Lol Just wanting some dialogue here is all. Thank you for your responses. Have been involved in football for several years.....just don't like how some things have went in regards to playing footsy with the rules is all. Again......NEVER once wanted to give the impression that someone couldn't hold back their kid. Just have questions about the culture of some schools holding back GROUPS of kids is all. Times have change I guess. Just didn't seem to happen that often when I was growing up I guess. My opinion is a kid held back should lose a year of eligibility in high school. Just don't remember the vast number of kids being held back when I was growing up. Thanks again for the educated responses.

First of all I’d like to say thank you for your service. That being said it is kind of ridiculous to say that a school is holding back a group of kids. There is no meeting between a school and a group of parents to discuss holding kids back. Each kid that is held back is a decision made by their parents. They’re may be a culture of holding back in some places, but it’s not because of the school. It’s because the parents have created the culture.
