[ - ] A friend and I have ds that are both in second grade, same school. We had separate meetings with their individual teachers today. Both of our sons have attention and impulsivity issues. My son gets OT and has been recieving services since he is a baby. Today, my dh and I requested they holdour son back. The administrations and teachers tried to convince us that 3rd grade is not a big deal, meanwhile he has a 52 average in math (we have given him tutoring etc.). My friends son is on par with my son, except her son is passing Math. but his teacher and the administration recommended that he get held back. I am not sure why they are against my failing son being held back an for her passing son to be held back. Your thought? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

They are giving you their best opinion, but the choice is your's. I would assume your son is socially well adjusted to his age group. If that is that case, they think he will catch up with the academics. The friend's son is probably more immature and will benefit from being with the younger group [ Reply | More

My ds was the oldest in his class simply from the way his bday fell. I always thought it was a big advantage for him to be older and bigger. If in doubt, I would probably keep your son back unless he felt very strongly about staying with his class. A year can make a big difference for a kid. But the teachers must feel like he will catch up if he moves ahead. I'm not sure there's a right answer, but if he's going to stay back, it's better to do it in the lower grades [ Reply | More

Here's one I don't get... there are thousands of NYers whose daily living needs are being met by those of us who work. And I don't mind helping out. But why can't they make a job for a bunch of able bodied folks getting support and not otherwise working to sort the recycling for the rest of us? [ Reply | More

It is sort of a rhetorical comment. The level field is that there are not so many tutors and kids who don't cheat are not at an unfair advantage. I agree with you on not wanting to send kids away.

Kids in boarding school do have tutors. I used to be a math tutor and would go to the boarding schools and have a full day of appointments tutoring kids.
