My son is a fourth grader and his behavior in class has always been a problem at each grade level. I'm concerned it will continue and possibly become a bigger problem. He is a GATE student so I don't think it would benefit him to repeat fourth grade. His birthday is Sept. 14 and he will begin 5th grade in August. I've been thinking about taking him out of school for a year so he can grow and mature. Even though he was mentally ready for kindergarten, I regret that I did not go ahead and wait a year before starting him in school. I was concerned if I had waited he would have been bored and getting into trouble. But now, I'm concerned he will always be more immature and smaller than his friends & peers. In addition to being a bright kid, he is also a natural born athelete. I'm concerned as he approached middle school and high school that his immature behavior and size will be a hinderance to him. So, is there anybody out there who has done what I'm thinking about doing? Thanks!!!
