in our case, it was b. The teacher strongly suggested that a child of ours repeat the 5th grade. Yes, he suffered some esteem issues, but as a parent, i was motivated to find more help the second time around, I also found that giving him the help he needed to succeed personally and with professional tutoring, that his esteem did not suffer long. It actually improved, brought us closer and helped me to become a better parent for the siblings to come. My son is now nearing high school completion, has become a more productive student and is mentally well adjusted. I think every situation is different, parents react very strongly when "their baby" is having trouble. keeping a level head, an open mind and knowing how to make an informed choice in the best interest of your child is the key.

The parents have the right to hold back a child if it is certain that he/she is having difficulties in all aspects of the current or following school year. I also know for a fact that age has an important role in grade levels. I took my daughter out of 4th grade in placed her in 3rd grade, two months after school started and it was our decision; the best decision. The teacher was NOT ALLOWED to mention the transition. She was only to HINT to the parents (us) to MAKE the decision.
Anyway, my daughter is now in 7th grade and is still thankful to this day that we "held her back". My autistic son was held back also and is now in GATE (Gifted And Talented Education). He is the oldest in his class.

in my opinion
teacher and parents should decide but in the end if the parent wants to hold the child back that is their right since it is THEIR child however if the teacher thinks the child should be held back but the parents refuse then next year will tell if the child was ready.....the older they are the worse it is (for the child) to be held back
failing grades do not lead to passing grades without help or time

In New Hampshire, the parents have the final say on this topic. The school district can make a recommendation, but the parents do not have to accept the recommendation.

I am a recently retired elem teacher an in my district the final say went to the parent and in my years of experience I would say never never never. It is extremely damaging to the self esteem.I had a new neighbor girl come over and this is how she introduced herself : " I am supposed to be going into 8th grade but I'm going into 7th" How very very sad, she has been labeling herself this way for many years, I wanted to cry.,This shows how deep it goes !!! My opinion for many years of experience

b. the parents and the teacher
my friend's brother had to be held back in kindergarten because he had a speech problem. it was mainly up to the parents, but the teacher was involved as well.

I would say B, BUT, ask the teacher. they spend A LOT of time with the child. so i would have to say Teaching with some parent input.

the parents and teachers decision for sure, as much as ur child probably doesn't want to be held back you have to do whats best for them.
