Hi
I am trying to put an appeal to have my child to move class and one of the things the council have come back with is
Please advise on the change of class bearing on
Development of personality
Development of talents
Mental development
Physical development
I can write a fair bit and how found a few American papers to link to but no British ones. I'm looking for ones that would show the peer group influence both negative and positive. Does anyone have any links, I am happy to sift through. I just want to go in as armed as possible.
This is the best I have found. Many papers show the studies in adolescence not primary (age 6-9)
