[quote=Anonymous]Two kids - two different "hard" years... For DS - 3rd. In our school it is the first year they get letter grades, first year for SOLs, expectations ramp up in terms of homework and staying focused on-task for longer in the classroom. That year was really hard for my DS who is young for his grade (late June birthday). It was the only year that made me seriously question if we should have redshirted. For DD - 1st. She was slow to learn to read and felt pressure from that and socially she had a hard time making friends since her interests tend to not be typical girly interests, and none of her K friends were in her 1st class. Her teacher was good about helping with changes in the classroom to fix the friendship problem and reading finally clicked. For her, 3rd grade was a breeze. [/quote]
