[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Do you really want your child to 1.)not have the option of staying back later, when it matters and 2.)not have the option of graduating at 19 instead of 17 or 18 - when historically intended? [/quote] this is a good point. Many private schools will have a new student repeat a year to ensure the student is able to perform. That would really suck if the child were already old for the year.[/quote] That's why there's one child in my child's class who should be 2 years ahead. The parents decided to redshirt the child, and then the child repeated a grade when transferred to a private school a couple years later. This is just in elementary school. I suspect, while the numbers of children 2 years behind will remain small, those numbers will slowly increase when school transfers become more common in middle and high school. [/quote]
