[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a problem when it's too late: when a "held back" kid whose parents really know they should have been at the grade ahead but worried their kid was not going to be a classroom star at any grade becomes Big Moose. There's a lot of Big Moose boys walking around, knowing they failed their parents the first time around and insecure that they're still no better off. Then they bully others who are on grade level, younger and smaller and...brighter. [/quote] This is just ridiculous. Stop slamming kids who were held back - maybe some have parents who wanted to gain an edge, but many had parents who were trying to do the right thing for their children. There is no correlation between being on the older end of the age range and bullying, and I doubt that most kids who were held back feel that they failed their parents - unless they hear adults referring to them as "big moose" - that would sap anyone's self esteem.[/quote]
