[QUOTE="Malika, post: 568133, member: 11227"] In France, where I live, repeating a year is common - it seems to be more widely used than in any other country that I know of. However, there have begun to be doubts about the practice and research is sometimes quoted by opponents of the system that shows that it is actually not beneficial at all, but rather counter-productive. Perhaps there is an argument for it if the child is very young for the class and obviously it is a case by case matter but it seems on balance, and from a distance, your son would be better off proceeding to HS with his peers and having better intervention when there. On the other hand... I was interested to read a bit about this and found the following, which supports the idea of repeating a year if a child is emotionally behind his or her peers: [url]http://www.ronitbaras.com/focus-on-the-family/parenting-family/should-my-child-repeat-a-year-at-school-or-not/#.UMnOZaxWqTw[/url] [/QUOTE]
