[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for your thoughts! Agree and that’s why I’d like to wait until 5th or 8th to repeat the grade (if necessary then) as opposed to repeating K next year at a be school. Just not sure if we’d be able to repeat 5th or 8th. Seems to be average academically and [b]below average in sports[/b] but he’s not even 5 yet so want to wait and see. [/quote] Don't make decisions like this based on sports. Academics should account for at least 90% of you decision, and social issues at most 10%. It might be too early to tell if academic problems will persist over the years. And social issues depend much more on personality than age, and putting your kid with younger classmates won't automatically make him a leader or alpha dog. Even youngest boys can end up alpha if they are naturally pushy and over confident. [/quote]
