My son of 14 yrs old has to repeat grade 8. Does repeat will help him perform better the next academic years?

It depends on the reason behind that repeat. If it was due to that he had poor grades, there are two ways he can go – either good or bad. I’ll explain that.

If he has a good attitude towards his repeat, so that he is motivated into working hard and avoiding another repeat or falling behind his peers, he will do better in the next academic years as he will want to feel that he did not fall behind for ‘reasons’ (you know how kids think, I’m one of the eldest in my year and I feel rather odd). If he feels that he’s been made to repeat grade 8 just because and he feels that he knows it all already, he may not have good attitude towards learning, hence he may have a chance of falling behind homework and/or not attending lesson because he knows what is going on already. Either way, you will probably want to check up how he’s feeling about the repeat and if he feels that the repeat is because things are against him and all, then you might want to make him feel that it’s not all bad and try motivate him into working harder etc. If possible, consult his teachers and ask if they can change the cirriculum slightly without changing the syllabus (just changing class activities, like for sciences, for example, they can do different experiments that still teach the same thing).

All in all, a repeat can clear up anything that he doesn’t understand too clearly and may not ask out loud for some reasons. It will also give him a chance to feel that he can excell above others in his year due to repeat, giving him a fat chance for good grades for the year.

How does the instructor think of your daughter will advance into extra mature by be held back with youthful toddlers???? it is ridiculous.. if your daughter is doing properly in her analyze.. do no longer carry her back.. she will wind up feeling ashamed of who she is.. because of the fact she had to stay in third grade lower back with the 2d grades.. Wow what a thank you to destroy a newborn’s self-worth.. perchance that instructor needs to get out of the college room and with some adults to regain her adulthood.. i’m sorry yet i can not have faith that… 8 300 and sixty 5 days olds are immature.. that’s what being 8 is all approximately.. have faith me your daughter will advance up speedy sufficient, then you definately would be wishing she became 8 lower back.. i can not even have faith this instructor stated that… besides this if youre daughter isn’t misbehaving at school then your daughters adulthood is none of this instructors organization..

“Does repeat will help him perform better the next academic years? ”

No it will help him next year but he will inevitably drop out unless there are changes made at home. Namely force him to read every night. Story books. That will improve his mind a lot better than television and pizza.

For sure! It really does help, they become more focused and it helps if you configure who he hangs around, at that age there are alot of kids who are dropping out or at least thinking about it.

actually yes, he can take extra classes so can improve on his academical skills especially for preparing for high school

no it will not,Unless he applies himself to his studies.I Have friends that repeated and they failed the second time around and were expelled because of it.

It will help him grasp consepts better and yes it will help him do better!
