[quote=Anonymous]My parents did this to me, actually. It was slightly different because I'd skipped a grade, so they were actually putting me back on track. Academically, skipping was the right choice and I was still doing well even a year ahead. Socially, it was a catastrophe. I wasn't a "mature" kid in 5th grade anyway, and absolutely held on to childish things longer than many of my peers. I was also small, and developing slowly. The combination of "too smart for my own good," immature, and physically small was a perfect storm. In my case, yes, it was boring to repeat a grade, but the social "reset" was 100% worth it.
