[quote=Anonymous]My 1st grade son will be 8 in April. Going by his birthdate he should be in 2nd grade this year.
However he had speech and motor delays as a preschooler, inattention issues (diagnosed with ADHD) as well, and his preschool teacher advised us to hold him back a year, which we did. We put him into an MCPS elementary school. The principal told us we would never be able to change his grade again - I think she was not happy we requested to hold him back. Then my DH got an assignment abroad and we moved. DC went to a private international school.

Now, however, it looks like we are coming back into the DC area, in the same school he was in before. My DC has matured and developed at a faster pace than I or his therapists would ever have thought possible, and seems to me significantly above the 1st grade level, especially in reading.

Can I request that he be placed into 2nd grade? Given the principal's previous reaction, do you think this will happen? What would you do in the same situation?

Thank you so much for your help.[/quote]
