Re: Repeating Class
iconoclast- lots of good advise in this thread.
it can be socially tough, I finished highschool before I turned 16 and then waited a year before I started uni just before i turned 17 and that was helpful for me.
if their concern is that academically it will be boring for him they can always challenge him with additional stuff.
If he is academically gifted for his age, then he should be in a gifted program and not just pushed up to the next grade. my 2 paisa on this subject.
