Oh, Mia! I'm so, so sorry!
What are your options? Sticking with his class for 1st grade and grade-skipping to 2nd are the two obvious ones. Are there any other options, since these obvious options don't sound quite good enough on their faces.
How are the 1st and 2nd grade teachers? Is there a chance to place B with someone who gets him?
Can you work on the writing to get him up to snuff, or perhaps suggest that he type his work somehow? I hate to hear that handwriting is keeping a kid from getting what he needs. That's just so wrong, I think.
I'm sorry for B and for you! {{{Hugs}}}
