I held my child back from entering kindergarden at age 5 due to the fact that the school he was inrolled at later told me he was not in that district, I refused to send him to the available school so I went to the school board and pleaded with them to get a transfer I was told no. So I decided to keep him home for that year. We moved to a different city, I enrolled him in the new school for kindergarden, since then he has recieved many awards and doing excellent, he is now in the begining if his first grade year, but now he comes home upset that kids are laughing at him because he is 7 years old and in the first grade. Do I ask his teacher to pass him to the grade that he belongs in? I don't know what to do.
Thank you

Your going to have to talk to the school board. Contact the principal and explain the situation. If he is doing very well maybe you can arrange Summer school to allow him to be bumped up a grade. Be stern and I am sure they will do it.

Now would be the time to get him with the same age kids. Talk to his teacher to determine if he is ready to jump to the second grade. The teacher would be the best at determining if he is ready or not. You don't want him to be behind the other kids but it sounds like he would be able to catch up just fine.

That depends is he able to do all of the first grade work?
I would have a meet with the teacher to discuss the matter.

No, by your standards anyone who is 18 should be graduated. He would have to test out of a grade to skip it.
