[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in a million years given the situation you described. Your child is doing well academically and socially. The risk that both of those things will suffer by needlessly repeating a grade is too great. [/quote] +100 And if he isn't good enough to do his sport without repeating a grade, he isn't good enough. [/quote] Fantastic point. The kids who are "dream" level athletes are head and shoulders above the rest - the 8th graders who are starting on the high school varsity team, the 6th graders who easily win middle-school-wide competitions. Having him repeat a grade won't magically make him a fantastic athlete. And for the love, please stop using the term redshirting - he's neither a college freshman nor a 5 year old. He would be repeating 6th grade. Short of a move cross-country, that's going to come with stigma. And for some kids the benefit will clearly outweigh that stigma - but not in your kids case.[/quote]
