Anyone Have Experience with Having a Child Repeat 1St Grade?
My son has an August birthday and just barely made the cut-off to enter kindergarten last year. He seemed ready so we sent him, knowing he was going to be the youngest in his class, and ready to repeat kindergarten if need be. He did great, and when we requested an extra meeting with his kindergarten teacher towards the end of the school year to make sure he was ready for first grade, she said she had no concerns whatsoever. We are now half way through first grade, and his teacher has asked us to consider having him repeat this year....
