[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the response from a Principal and it seemed to make a ton of sense.....When the decision is made to give an extra year, the current teacher asks for a volunteer to be a leader in the classroom next year...[b]the  children inevitably all  raise their hands (per the Principal) the teacher chooses the child who will be returning to the classroom.  At this school the child stays with the teacher for a 2nd year and is that teacher's helper and leader in the classroom.  What[/b] a positive way to look at giving time to a child!  In theory it sounds great though I  have not seen it done in practice.....this is a Public School Principal  Good luck! (and the question was raised about repeating Kindergarten)  I will say, I do know of a handful of children who did a 2nd year of Kindergarten in public school (usually kids with summer and early fall birthdays) [/quote]

This is a terrible, incredibly unfair practice to kids who have no need to repeat. I would have some serious issues with this if I had my on-time child in the classroom. BTW, I'm an educator.[/quote]
