My sons have developed gaps in their learning due to us living in different countries. For the first 5 years they were in Non-English speaking schools. They have struggled every year to keep up, never getting the chance to catch up. I feel they would benefit from repeating a year, however their birthday is the 2nd week of September, so they would be 14 while most students are still 12. I am so torn as what to do. We are looking at homeschooling this year to get them one on one help to fill the gaps, but we will still be faced with the same question next school year. To repeat would mean they graduate at 19 & 7mths approx. has anyone had this with their kids & how did the children in the class react & how did your children deal with this?
