Grade Retention

HelpINeedSomebody

Hi Chaps

I'm trying to sort out my son who will be going to secondary school from September can anyone tell me if they have gone for or been forced into 'Grade Retention' (child kept back a year or repeating a year).

I have reservations so I'm looking for both positive and negative stories.

 

Thanks

  • He mentioned one or two boys said he had to repeat because he was stupid but if it wasnt that my guess is, it would have been something else. you know what children can be like sometimes. He knows the reasons he chose to repeat and that they are nothing at all to do with his intelligence, just the fact it wasnt recognised he needed a bit of support. If we can build their believe in themselves as best we can, we can only hope it helps get them through the tough times.
