[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 650149, member: 11791"] They never do that here. The school would provide extra tutoring, pull-out help, remedial class work, for 2 to 3 years, to enable the student to catch up and be with their peers. Unless the student is extremely young for his grade, being held back will make him the oldest in his class for the rest of his school days, and that has a lot of disadvantages. It isn't like this child is extremely disabled - ADHD and sensory integration problems can be overcome. If for whatever reason he DOES get held back, you may need to change schools. Otherwise, he is likely to be bullied, shunned, and otherwise made miserable for "being a failure". It doesn't matter what the teachers and principal say... kids are cruel. [/QUOTE]
