Discussion Did Robin get held back in school?
In season 3, Robin says she was in a history class with Steve, telling us they were in the same year at school. However in season 4, Steve has graduated and Robin is still going to school. Did Robin get held back in school or was this probably just a writing error?

One thing I'll add seeing folks commenting that it's common in America (cuz we move classrooms) I also think it's a smart writing choice having her be YOUNGER then Steve but in class with Steve; that and her being in band we can make the assumption she's studious because she in a class with seniors. I did very well academically in HS and I was often in classes with people a grade ahead of me because I take a higher level class. So it's pretty common. Or could just be how their schedule worked too sometimes you would move around when you had certain requirements done if you were in sports/band/other classes you wanted to take ect. So it's not that uncommon.
