I have a seven year old son, who will be repeating the first grade. The teacher said that he has a come a long way since the start of the year and he could move to second grade, but would be better off perfecting the skills that he is a little slow on. I have no problem with having him repeat the first grade, and the teacher left the final decision up to us. He will be staying in her class again next year because she really thinks that he can become a leader in her class and do a ton for his confidence. which makes me feel good that she isn't trying to pawn him off on another teacher. I repeated kindergarted but can't remember any problems from it.. One of the mothers said that my child will be made fun of on the bus and playground because he was left behind while they all moved up. I personal think that it won't be that big of deal and only what it is truly best for my child. Do you know of any children who were truly made fun of? We live in a really small community.
