[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 583176, member: 1169"] Retention is a very individual decision. We retained both Eeyore and Piglet--over the school's objections. I would do it again. For Piglet, it was the difference is always being two steps behind everyone else and being smack in the middle of the pack. For Eeyore, it has helped due to his immaturity. He is still immature, but he is with kids two years younger so he didn't stand out until recently. To retain a child simply because they did not master the academic material or pass a standardized test is not effective. Evaluating an individual child and looking at WHY they did not succeed can allow parents and teachers to make an appropriate decision for a specific child. Most studies show that retention needs to happen by age 7 to be beneficial. After that age, the social stigma becomes a problem. [/QUOTE]
