[quote=Anonymous]We had DS repeat fifth when he moved from public to private - he was a fall baby (this was when the deadline in MD was 12/31), and would have been 4 months younger than the next youngest boy in the grade. He would have been fine academically either way, but was already a bit uncomfortable socially, which was sapping his confidence. It was absolutely the right thing to do - he wasn't bored, as the school accelerated him in math and the language arts, social studies, and science curricula were different. His organizational skills were better matched to the younger grade. He just graduated from high school and is off to college. He NEVER complained about the repeated year, and stayed friends with many of his original classmates. OP, I'm not sure you have to make the decision now. When my son applied, we left the fifth vs. sixth open to discussion, and didn't decide until much later.[/quote]
