[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP—when is your child’s birthday? And what is his physical size? I’m a public elementary school principal and have only ever held back a student once. Physical size (small), September birthday, and both academic and social struggles were all significant factors in the decision. [/quote] Size should NEVER be a reason to hold back.[/quote] Of course. You’ve misunderstood my post. When presented with the idea of holding back, one factor I looked at was the physical size of the student. If the student was especially tall for their age, I never would have considered holding the kid back. If the student had a January birthday, I never would have considered it. Size is a factor to be considered in the decision, but never a reason. [/quote]
