[quote=Anonymous]OP - I have seen some people do this in middle school. Transitioning to a different school but repeating a grade. Maturity plays a large role in this, I believe sports did too but the student really didn't turn out to be a recruited athlete so I'll chalk it more up to maturity. Also, it wasn't as if the student outperformed others (or even kept pace with the high performers) when repeating the grade...so it seems like it wasn't a bad academic choice. I do think, however, the child was more precocious by 8th - getting into "deeper" trouble than others. (so still immature in some ways but getting into troubles more in line with "older kids")[/quote]
