How do you feel about retaining a child in a grade (i.e. repeating a grade). We have heard what the 'professionals' say about it but what do you as parents feel? Have you had a child that has been retained? Has it helped or hurt them? I am interested to know some different perspectives as it is a possibility with one of my children. Thanks!!
