Question

Shade i keep my San in kindergarten 1 more yea?

Answer 1

i think you should because if hes like you , he'll never learn how to write lol

Answer 2

If he is not developmentally ready than yes. Some children just need one more year, its nothing terrible. Holding him back will not effect his self esteem, but struggling through first grade will.

Discuss this with his teacher and see what he/she thinks. School is a lot harder than it used to be. I remember when I used to work in an after school program, the hw that used to come in with the first graders was more difficult than I remember it being. We had a child who was recommended to repeat kindergarten and the parents decided to move him to first. The child struggled so much and had trouble comprehending the work. At times I felt like he was just being pushed along the grade, not really learning. He eventually had to go to resource room to try and catch up, but he was already behind the other children.

Why have your child struggle through first grade? You want his early learning experiences to be good ones. You do not want to associate school with something negative, this could effect him all through his academics.

Answer 3

When is his birthday, that also has a lot to do with it.

And YES, talk to his teacher...

Answer 6

Maybe you show discuss this with his teacher.

Answer 7

did your "san" write this question??? just wondering.

Answer 8

it depends on where he is developmentally

Answer 9

In Canada kindergarten is not required so therefor another year of structure and socialization will not hurt him.

Answer 10

NO, the self esteem issue if he is at public school is more devastating.  HOlding him back, he will always be known as the kid that was held back if he stays at the same school. If you could put him at another school and no one ever knew and he didn't really understand then I would say yes.
