[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to schedule a meeting with the principal, the special ed coordinator, and the school psychologist to discuss this. I agree with others who say that holding back isn't going to fix a personality trait or learning disability. You need to get a much better read on this than what the teacher is telling you, because from what I see it seems that your son is meeting DCPS criteria to move into 1st grade, but the teacher believes he is emotionally immature or/and has attention problems - this may not be a good reason to hold him back, depending on the big picture. (And fwiw my child is well aware of who is his class is repeating a grade or started late, so the kids do talk w/o any involvement from parents.) Meanwhile, find some good "kindergarten readiness" and "1st grade readiness" check lists to look over. [/quote] +1 [/quote]
