[quote=Anonymous]15:32 - Could you provide a little more info. on why the authors thought that retention in first grade was better than kindergarten? I'm facing the decision as to whether to retain my young kindergartner. She is struggling socially, is very petite, and is having a hard time with the school work. The school doesn't recommend retention, but wants to push her to first grade. They think that she is meeting the academic standards, but I worry that she will struggle every year, and I don't want to face retention in later grades. If I could reasonably put off this decision until first grade, I might do that... So, I'd be interested to read that book you mentioned. Could you tell me the name of it?[/quote]
