[quote=Anonymous]I think it is very common to move back a year when going from public to private. We are switching our 15 yr old 10th grader from public to private. The private has indicated that they really want us to move him back to 9th grade. He has a May bday and we live in the south now, and they old us that they usually don’t let boys start K at 5, especially “late birthdays, like May”. They also said that they have most mid year transfers, unless they are currently making all A's, go back a year b/c they find a lot of gaps in learning when c9ming from public to private. I am wishing we had done this when he was in middle school, but didn’t know/ realize it. [/quote]
