[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's like 5 more months left of school. I'd ask for a list of things you can work on with him at home to get him caught up. I'd also ask for a re-evaluation in June, as well as a second opinion.

Leaving a child back, like skipping a child forward, should only be in extreme circumstances. [/quote]

I definitely agree with this as a next step, and important next step.  Then see how it goes, get additional evaluations/assessments if his teacher is still saying he'd need to be left back... but if you do all of this and all roads are still pointing to it being better for him to repeat K, then have Plan B in motion.  If you haven't already thought of applying through the common lottery (or if you have a good IB school no need to apply now), then enter the lottery and see how it goes.

It would just really suck to try other things to catch him up, realize he still needs to repeat, and not have laid the groundwork for finding a new school.

Good luck OP, no shame at all if he has to repeat, but sounds like from those who've been through it, like it might be a lot better for him to change schools.[/quote]
