An example to my earlier post. There are two kids in the 8th grade. One kid has a birthday in July and is only 13 years old. The other kid has a birthday in October and was held back another year in grade school so he is 15 years old. They both weigh the same and so will wrestle against each other. As a parent of the 13 year old, I may complain that it is unfair that my son has to wrestle against someone two years older than him and thus is stronger due to maturity. As a parent of the 15 year old, I may say there is nothing wrong since they both have the same opportunities to compete. Which side would you choose? I will beat you money that this debate is currently raging in those "other states" just like our debate about 8th graders vs. freshman.
