@22:30- I don't know. I'll find out though.
@22:27- probably should have done the same as you and maybe we will meet!

I was really hoping to here some thoughts from people who kept their child back and had a good experience doing so.  Anyone out there????

We love the school. He loves school. Its a good fit. I really don't want to have to delve back into the DC lottery again!~![/quote]

It really isn't all that common for kids to get held back, so I would imagine it will be tough to get information on others' experiences.  But, just imagine how your child will feel if he can't keep up in subsequent years.  It becomes a compound problem because it can get worse as the years go by to the point where he really fails.  Then you may always wonder if you could have fixed it by holding him back.

I don't know your child so I can't tell if its the right thing.  But just wanted to point out that there are two sides to the issue - whether it was successful to hold him back and whether it was a problem to decline this at the recommendation of the teacher/school.[/quote]
