I held my child back in school, know i feel she is ready to go to her right grade. who do i talk to ?

Answer 1

I doubt that she has made that much progress that she is now on the right grade level. Besides, she missed a whole year of teaching. I would leave her where she is. But, if you are determined to do this, call a conference with the teacher and the principal. You will have to fight hard and prove that she is ready for the grade you want to send her to. Even with that, I don't think you will win.

Answer 2

If your child is now IN school, you need to speak with her counselor. If not, you need to call the school's office and make an appointment to speak with someone. However, you should know that this is not solely your decision to make. If, for example, you held her back in fourth grade and now think she should skip to sixth grade, it is up to the school to decide whether she is ready. You can bring to their attention that she is bored and has previously completed all the work required in fifth grade, for example, but only the school has a right to decide whether or not a child should move ahead.

Answer 3

Talk to her school's principal. Ask to see her tests, quizzes, assignments, etc. Then check with her teacher to discuss how her classroom behavior and classroom work is. Then make an imformed desicion about moving her into a new grade. Talk to her principal once again if you believe she should be moved up a grade. She may have take a test but schools vary. Present all the details why she should be moved up to the next grade. Then wait for the principal's desicion. Best of luck to both of you!

Answer 4

Leave your child where there are at now. Let her have confidence in herself and feel successful. Moving her back up could be disastrous. Holding your child back a yr is many times a 'gift' to ;your child..look at it that way.
good luck

Answer 5

Firstly to her teacher, if that doesn't work, go to the headmaster/headmistress of the school and if that doesn't work go to the Department of Education.
