O.K. Here�s some advice that I find difficult to follow regarding my son�s experience with teachers. Maybe you can give your bro an SIL this tidbit to possibly improve your nephew�s situation next year.
I assume that the answer from the parents will be NO! I would suggest they act as if they are grateful for the �concern� of these teachers and although they think retention would be too extreme a solution, they will ensure that they work with him over the summer to make certain he is well prepared by next fall for the increased challenges of 2nd grade.
If they can manage that without choking, their son will probably have less teacher prejudice directed towards him next year.
