[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 249073, member: 1169"] I agree that retaining because a child hasn't learned to read won't help the child learn to read. But there are very good reasons to retain children. Both of my middle two children repeated 1st grade - at my insistence, over the objections of our school district. It was 100% the right decision for both of them. My daughter is a regular ed student now and my son only needs resource support. They needed the extra year to recover from their foster care experience - years in which no one read to them, etc. There is no one size fits all answer. [/QUOTE]
