[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Background: DS is in K now and youngest in class and birthday is after cutoff. 14-15 months younger than oldest kids. Might not have been best to send him early but I’m not sure. His current school (private K-12) won’t let him repeat a grade due to school policy of not letting students repeat grades (DS has been at the school since preschool). They are very strict with the policy and have never made an exception.

Question: Can we have him repeat a year later in his educational career at a different school? For example, after 5th or 8th grade at current school, ok to do 5th or 8th again at another school? (Either public or private?) Or will my DS be forced to move to the next grade?

I’d have him repeat K at another school next year but I want to give it a few years and wait and see if he really needs to repeat a year - I’m not at this time sure if repeating a grade is necessary/worth the downside (not being able to go to the school he loves with his siblings and friends/potential internalization of not being perceived as smart/good enough, etc.) so want to wait a few years and see how he’s doing and then decide.

why would you want to do that? You are saying he turns 5 in 2025? If not, if he turns 5 before 2025 it isnt early. That is why you did it. Holding him back for no reason is gross.[/quote]
