[QUOTE="DownTheRabbitHole, post: 568151, member: 13030"] Thanks for the posts and the article link. He is 12 in 7th grade and very small for his age. Although his academics have taken a nose drive I think we still have time to improve to overall passing for the year. I not sure if school would recommend or the steps necessary to even do this. I was just curious if anyone had experience with and if in any cases the benefits out weighed the negatives. It's seems the earlier the better and I fear I've thought of this too late. In our case behavior has always been the issue not academics, although this year we have begun to struggle with grades. I just wonder that if his behavior keeps him out of classes and isolates him from his peers if an extra year to mature emotionally would help him control his behavior. Of course it's just as likely that any maturing would be joined by the oh so dreaded puberty and most likely one behavior would be replaced by another. Anyway thanks for the comments. [/QUOTE]
