It's important to understand whether or not your child is actually struggling, and Firat has a tip.
"If your child is normally an 'A' or 'B' student, but you're seeing a letter grade or lower like a 'B' or 'C', that means there is some sort of misalignment," Firat said.

He explains that there is a difference between struggling to get work done on time and struggling to learn the concepts.
"If the parent is worried about the student getting a grade, I would talk to a teacher or the counseling office," Firat advised. "But if the question is more on the learning side, I would go to the counseling office, the pediatrician and the psychologist, who can actually counsel you before making the decision."
A student will have to repeat a grade if they fail a class or if a parent chooses to have them repeat the grade.
