DEVILOLOGIST Wrote:Having a child held back is a parents right but it should done earlier in the school system.. If you as aparent do not want your child to graduate at 17 then hold them back...but dont wait to middle school to do it, Before is 6th grade is the best time as the classes are still basic instructional..And for this arguement,,, you as a parent can determine at what age your son will graduate....Make changes early in the system and not during the middle school years....
Third or fourth grade is a great time to repeat.
I don't know what difference it makes what grade they are held back in. I can see the argument that holding them back when they are younger and taking basic classes, but I can also see the argument that holding them back during middle school when they have a chance to master those crazy portfolios. It's a hot topic for sure. If a parent chooses to do this, I suggest talking to others who have held theirs back and research it first. I can name all kinds of advantages for the kid. What are some of the disadvantages for a kid held back? Just to be clear, in our school system, if you fail a grade, you can't participate in athletics that year.
