<p>Interesting comments so far. Everyone, check GMTplus7’s excellent thread from 2011, cited above - excellent exchange about repeats, particularly how AOs view them. I site searched this subject to little avail yet this thread was here all along. I need to sharpen my skills…Many thanks GMTplus7 for that great thread and for providing the link. </p>
<p>I was thinking that the entire subject is framed within the content of “normal” school structures - everyone of one age is in the same class. Yet it is perfectly natural for people to mature in different aspects at different speeds. And since private schools, bs in particular, can and do accommodate students according to their academic progress, placing them in advanced or remedial courses, I am starting to wonder if grades or forms make much sense any more.</p>
