[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 532149, member: 11791"] I wanted to have difficult child held back... school wouldn't do it. What we DID do, though, was slow school down. difficult child doesn't take a full class-load, and will take an extra year to complete HS (4 instead of 3). If he has to slow down more and do it over 5, that's OK too. But that is only working because difficult child has really poor subjects (academics) and really strong subjects (music, shop). He is totally age-appropriate in his strengths, so those keep him with his peers. Because he's not "lock-step" anyway... he's taking some subjects ahead of his official year... and some are delayed. He started taking off in one subject, doing better, so we adjusted the schedule so he has this subject every term until he has taken all of it. Other subjects will catch up later. [/QUOTE]
