[quote=Anonymous]OP here. we are in public. we will have a meeting with the school soon. when asked, teacher and counselor thought it would probably be very good for DD to be held back. counselor thinks DD would not be harmed, depending on how we prepare her and present the thing to her. I am not so sure, especially if she stays at the same school. I am really torn. I want to do what is best for DD, and I do not know what it is. DD will be away most of the summer, so we will be working with her, and can have a tutor here in DC only for the last two weeks before school starts. I think we can make up the gap by SEptember, but is sjhe going to fall behind again if she goes to 2nd grade? if she is retained, is she going to simply mature and be at grade level even in the future. I know nobody can answer my questions, but I would like to gain some insight from other parents' experience. [/quote]
