[quote=Anonymous]I would strongly recommend against doing it. That 2 years difference is huge. Sixth grade is not designed for 13 year olds. Socially, emotionally and physically, he will likely stand out. Get him tutoring now with a solid reading specialist. Continue over the summer. Make this a family effort--read, read, read. If there is a specific learning disability that is really at the root of these issues, then the last thing you want is for your child to be in special Ed AND older than the rest of the class. I wouldn't be so quick to determine that the school's teaching style is at the cause for him being behind. Good luck to you. --Principal in FCPS [/quote]
