[quote=Anonymous]You are worried about your child's self esteem and being in a tough environment. You don't think that being held back won't impact a smart kid's self esteem? What will he think about himself? Are you sowing seeds of doubt and capability? Why not work on improving how your child handles social situations and help him grow a thicker skin over the next year.? By sixth grade many parents aren't coddling their kids like you and many kids are pulling away from their parents. I have a young for his age 4th grader. I couldn't imagine telling him that next year he's going to repeat the same grade. He would be upset and it would very likely change his perspective on how he thinks of himself.[/quote]
