The pros and cons of a repeat year

<p>@GMTplus7 Do you think I should pull him out his current school as 8th grader now and have him start at a new school as a 7th grader. Or do you think I should let him finish this year and then have him redo it.</p>

<p>He should do better in a different environment last year all his grades where all above an 88, I think his gpa was in like a 92. Also this year he is doing bad for silly reasons, since he’ll get a 100 on two homework assignments then a zero for either not handing in one or handing it in late. Same with his tests he’ll score 85 to 90 on 3 tests then one he’ll get a 20 on since he didn’t study or even remember he had a test. His teachers say he is really smart yet</p>

<p>I don’t think it should be too much of a problem explaining why we had repeat or switch schools since they will see the massive drop in grades and that he test at high school and college levels on the state tests.</p>
