[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non-military families are guessing all over this thread. A military family that just PCS'd to a new state is different -- and will be treated differently than a local kid being red-shirted for no obvious reason. [/quote]

You're not special. It makes no difference where the parents are employed and why the move around so much. They could be a traveling circus family for all the school cares. The point is that a typical public school will not let you choose your child's grade level based on your fee-fees. There needs to be well-documented reasons for holding back.

Private schools only care about your $$$$$$.[/quote]

Public schools don’t care.  They really don’t.  Kids enroll in various grades of public school all the time with no “transcript.”  Kids are homeschooled, immigrants, come from private schools that don’t issue letter grades or do standardized testing.  Some elementary schools don’t issue grades as well.  No public middle school is hounding down records.  You fill out paperwork and it asks what grade your kid will be entering and you can put whatever you want.  Unless it is wildly off, no one is going to say anything. [/quote]
