[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 568157, member: 9177"] My difficult child repeated 1st grade and is now repeating 8th grade. The first time it wasn't a big deal because she was so young, and this time she's repeating 8th grade at a different school than she was in last year, so the only way people would really know is if she told them (even though she, at age 15, is most likely the oldest kid in her class). For us it is has been beneficial but frustrating. She repeated the 8th grade because there was no WAY she was ready for high school this year. It's difficult because she's very, um, physically developed and doesn't look at all like an 8th grader, but she is VERY mentally and emotionally immature - she's more around age 11/12. School is an enormous struggle, and even now she's having trouble getting decent grades (which, as we define for her, is C or above). [/QUOTE]
