[quote=Anonymous]I have not bothered to read most of this thread, but — in consultation with the school and our child’s developmental pediatrician — we have just decided to have our child repeat 1st grade. Our child is an August birthday, small in size, immature, ASD/ADHD, and struggles with basic classroom routines. Moreover, 1st grade has revealed that our child is also a bit dyslexic—as a result, our child is reading a year behind. While we’ve always been hesitant to redshirt, after four years of full time education, there has been no narrowing of the gap, despite substantial support from the school (through an IEP), and we’re concerned that, on top of all the other challenges, the reading delay will lower our child’s self-esteem. So we’ve decided to repeat First, when they’re still teaching the foundations of reading. But, even with all those factors, this has not been an easy decision. [/quote]
