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.
I second this, plus Grinity's advice.
I'm shaking my head at the whole fiasco! Ridiculous!
