[quote=Anonymous]Also, what if he doesn't have special needs but would just plain old do better in Kindergarten?  Not to be the gifted one, but to be on track developmentally which will eventually lead to being on track academically?  Is there REALLY no way you could discuss having him move to Kindergarten?  I know this might kill his self-esteem even worse, but on the other hand if he's really struggling then maybe he'd prefer it, especially if he gets a chance to either have the same teacher or a different one.

I don't know....  I hate to have him lose so much self esteem in this year when he watches others do so much better (faster, neater, more efficiently) and he won't catch up because as he gets older so do they.  OR seriously consider having him do Grade 1 again next year (of course this you won't decide until May next year) if the year progresses.  Of course, remember that this is only week 2 or 3 of Grade 1, but your instincts are good - always listen to your instincts. [/quote]
