[quote=Anonymous]When we transferred from public school my son was one of the youngest kids in his class. For academic reasons I considered keeping him back. The decision to let him move forward hinged on his size. He was larger than most boys and the school during the admission process suggested to keep him in his grade. Note: Another private school accepted him but required that he repeat the grade due to academics. His friend applying to the same school coming from another public school was accepted for the same grade level. He was much smaller than my son. His parents decided to send him to a charter school. They were worried about self esteem issues. I don't feel repeating a grade would have been useful. The new school was an academic transition but he managed the first year and did not have any problems the subsequent years. [/quote]
