[quote=Anonymous]I know several people who moved their kids to private from public and had the kids repeat K at the new school. These kids are all now 4th and 5th graders and I have not heard of them suffering any insecurities because of the repeated grade. Also, the kids kept on in sports and camps with the kids from their original grade. I do know the parents explained the repeat to the kids as something encouraged by the new schools, rather than something the parents wanted to do because the kids needed any catch up. Personally, I'd hold back in the situation you describe. Even if your child feels some angst about repeating, he likewise would from being so. behind his classmates. I think his confidence will be restored faster if he starts to feel competent and hopefully successful in school. GL.[/quote]
