[quote=Anonymous]Other important things to consider: -- her size. If she's already tall for her current class, she'll stand out after being retained. --siblings. Are there siblings coming up close behind her? Kids have a very clear sense of where they are in relation to their siblings, ie my brother is always 2 grades behind me. If she's retained, how will that change. I would ask the counselor, teacher and anyone else involved in this conversation to present the research supporting retention. A lot of folks "feel" it's the answer without looking at hard evidence. It's like taking a doctor's recommendation to try a medicine based on his or her gut feeling. Retention is a huge deal in a kid's life. It's something they never forget. [/quote]
