corey is in prep this year .he loves school and has lots of little friends.the problem i have is the teacher has asked for a meeting with dh and myself ,they would like corey to stay down next year and do prep again.he is doing well with numerousy,but struggles with literacy.when the kids start school they start on level one for reading corey has only made it to level 2 at this stage in the year.the other children are around level 5 and higher.i have no probs with corey repeating the year but my husband is furrious,he is aware that corey is struggling but thinks this is way unecessary.he is going into this meeting with guns ablazing.i cant seem to have a civil conversation with him about it he gets so upset.i had to repeat grade 2,so i can relate and understand why this is important,dh didnt have to repeat at school.guess who did well.ME thats right i finished highschool and dh didnt,i also went on to become a nurse.i think that this will help corey get through next year with a great deal of confinence and benefit him in future years,i am worried about how this will affect his self esteem.i dont want him to feel he was not good enough to go up with his friends.this is going to be hard.i am dreading all of this already.i think i am going to have to put my foot down on this one.what do you think.have any of you had to go through this.what advice do you girls have for me.since i cant talk to dh about it , i feel very confused.
