Q&A With Our Experts

Q My son has been kept back in Grade 1-Reason given "not confident enough". Now in Grade 3, his teachers approached us and said that he is still not confident and he does not participate so much in class. Also his handwriting is not up to scratch. But as we reviewed his books, there are some days that his handwriting is perfect. He has been referred to the school's remedial teacher for assessment. She tested him and said that his reading is perfect, but he does not comprehend what he’s reading. Also his math skills -for example he would count in two's from 96 to 106 perfectly then jumps to 105. Is there a logically explanation for him doing that? I have a problem with the fact that my son is an introverted person when it comes to being in a group as I am the same. I feel that there is too much emphasis on him being not confident enough. He definitely knows the work, because we gave him a genuine test, left him alone in the room and he finished it perfectly. I really need answers and help. Please advise.
