We are finding that parents begin the get anxious when their child is the oldest, or youngest in a class. They want them to move up or stay behind - for fear of being behind, or bored/not challenged - without considering where the child is academically... and the needs of the school. This has also been a challenge because parents will see that a class is on the younger side and immediately think we don't have parents staying for older grades (esp. in Kinder for Primary!)
