I haven't gotten to look at this in depth yet, but wanted to share. It's a link to HSLDA regarding struggling learners.

Sometimes one of my children will say, "Why are we not a grade ahead?" I tell them why rush into growing up? Do you really want to get to college a year earlier? And then out and working a year earlier? That line of reasoning has really slowed that talk down! haha
So thanks for sharing too. It's good to know I'm not the only one trekking up the mountain!
I hope this site helps you and me! Let me know!
