[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like 90% of time people consider holding back boys is based on a comparison to how they will eventually stack up against other boys (either b/c of bullying or b/c of sports ability). It is a sign that things are not right when we are making decisions for our sons based on how they compare to others rather than what they individually are capable of handling. [/quote] You don't know that. You have never been in this position and you are simply speculating. These are not easy decisions and most parents aren't making them for competitive reasons. Most of us are looking at our own child's maturity. believe me, you don;t want a child who is not ready to be there in a class with your child. I wish everyone could try a little empathy in place of their judgment.[/quote]
