it is an quite stressful question you're asking. You, as his mom knows how he's doing academically. it somewhat is stressful to capture up in a grade whilst he's analyzing at a ok point because of the fact the better you bypass in grades the greater analyzing is relied upon for college paintings. My sons B-day is Sept 7 and the shrink off date right here is previously that yet because of the fact academically he became into the place he might desire to be the college entered him into ok. regrettably, his adulthood became into some distance at the back of and that they had to maintain him returned in ok as in 1st grade he might % greater adulthood to take a seat nonetheless and follow regulations that should stay with for 1st grade. I do think of now that it became right into a foul option to maintain him returned as he lost all his acquaintances that he had good kinfolk with. it somewhat is 2d grade and we at the instant are homeschooling, so it enables him to circulate on at a good %. for him. I want I had a answer yet if certainty learn, it somewhat is a private decision you will possibly desire to make. You element out that they gained't placed him in 2d grade on the interior maximum college. subsequently, you're only decision is to maintain him at a public college or different than that he will repeat 1st grade. good success, i comprehend this could be a stressful decision to make.

I would not fight your son's advancement to ninth grade. However, I would schedule a conference with your son's Guidance Counselor as soon as possible. If your son's low grades were due to lack of effort on his part, and not his ability, have his Guidance Counselor advise all your son's teachers of your son's situation so they can make a concerted effort to keep him from slipping. I agree, 4 D's and a C are not acceptable from a young man who's capable of much better. Unfortunately, today's educators are all too ready to accept mediocrity. If you want your son to do better, you have to let his counselor and teachers know that your expectations for your son are higher than just getting by, and ask for their help. Remember, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease! Best of luck to you and your son.

I think that you should allow him to go on and if he hasn't matured yet he will once he is around other students that are older than himself. If you want his grades to come up to A's and B's then maybe you should see about getting a tutor. The school should offer it for free.

Well maybe you should let him advance but work extra hard with him in this up and coming year...Help get his grades up. even hire a tutor if you have to. if he doesn't do good in 9th grade then he def will be held back. But as a parent you should try to encourage him to step his game up.

grade school k-6

middle school 7-8

high school 9-12

that how our school system work it maybe different where you are,but middle school is very hard for everyone unless your popular and social,if he kinda of a loner that maybe why He got bad grades

but once he get into highschool He will mature big time,I did and in middle school I was very immature,but once I entered high school I matured and it was because your with the big boys now.teachers won't put up with crap I didn't do my homework,I forgot it,they will keep him after school or give him a zero,our school had saturday school.our school was very strict

his grades may not be a's and b's but it is true, if their AVERAGE grades are passing , the school by law cannot hold him back. no one is ever really mature enough to go to high school . he just has to live thru it and learn from it.

I can see your concern you want the best for him but that doesn't mean we have to ignored the facts he did not fail there is no ways teachers are going to keep him behind, but seance you know that there is a problem how about looking for help with his classes like silvyn center i hear they are great and can put him to date and even beyond, also have a talk with him ,and make him aware of the situation

It's about passing not about how mature a person is....go get him a tutor or find out what's wrong with him and why he's getting lower grades....

Well, the school is right. There is no reason to hold him back if he is passing. I would suggest working closer with him and his teachers in high school so that he doesn't do that badly in high school.
